Identify the rights conferred by registration of a trademark under the Intellectual Property Code in relation to the goods/services for which it is registered. Facts: Verve Laboratories registers the mark VERVE for pharmaceutical preparations for human use (Class 5).

Discuss whether Verve's rights are violated, focusing on (i) the scope of protection of VERVE in relation to medicines versus supplements, (ii) the likelihood of confusion between Verve’s uses on medicines and supplements, and (iii) the remedies available if infringement is found.
