Prior user logically means who is been using the Trademark before you use.

“Prior Use” constitutes the following:

(1) the use of a mark identical or nearly resembling the registered mark, by a third person, must be in relation to the goods and services for which the first-mentioned mark is registered;

(2) the use must be a continuous use of the trademark in India;

(3) the trademark must be used by the proprietor in order to avail the protection;

(4) the mark must have been used from a date prior to the use of the registered trademark or the date of registration whichever is earlier.
