IPC Section 481 — Using a false property mark

Summary

A person uses a false property mark when they put a mark on movable property, goods, or on a container holding such items, or when they use a container that already has a mark on it, in a way that is likely to make others think the property or goods belong to someone they do not actually belong to.

Official Text

Whoever marks any movable property or goods or any case, package or other receptacle containing movable property or goods, or uses any case, package or other receptacle having any mark thereon, in a manner reasonably calculated to cause it to be believed that the property or goods so marked, or any property or goods contained in any such receptacle so marked, belong to a person to whom they do not belong, is said to use a false property mark.
