What a trademark protects

A trademark is a word, name, logo, slogan, shape or combination that tells customers who is behind a product or service. Registering it under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 gives you the exclusive right to use the mark for your goods or services and to act against copycats. Registered marks can use the ® symbol, while the ™ symbol can be used even before registration.

Why register

Exclusive legal right over your brand name and logo
Ability to take action against infringement
Builds trust and brand value
Makes it easier to license, franchise or sell your brand
Prevents others from registering a confusingly similar mark

Can be registered

Brand and business names
Logos and device marks
Slogans and taglines
Letters, numbers and shapes
Sound and colour combinations in some cases

Documents required

Name and address of the applicant
Identity proof and business proof, such as incorporation certificate or Udyam registration
Logo or brand name in the required format
List of goods or services and the class
Date of first use, if the brand is already in use with proof
Power of attorney signed in favour of the agent

Choose the right class

Marks are filed in classes of goods and services
One application covers one class, and you may need several
Choosing the wrong class can leave your brand unprotected

How registration works

Trademark searchWe check the register for identical or similar marks before you spend money.
File the applicationThe application is filed online with the class and details of use.
ExaminationThe registry examines the mark and may raise objections, which we reply to.
PublicationThe mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal so others can oppose it.
Opposition periodThird parties get a window to oppose. We handle replies if needed.
RegistrationOnce clear, the registration certificate is issued.

Fees, timelines and rules are set by the IP offices and change from time to time. We confirm the current position before filing.

Validity and renewal

A registration lasts 10 years from the date of application
It can be renewed again and again for further 10-year periods
Renewal must be filed before expiry, with a grace period available on payment of a fee
Keep your address and ownership details updated with the registry

Common questions

Can I register a brand name that is already in use?

Possibly, if it is not identical or similar to an existing mark. A search tells you the risk.

Does a company registration give me trademark rights?

No. Registering a company name and registering a trademark are different things.

When can I use the ® symbol?

Only after the mark is registered. Until then, use ™.

How long does it take?

It depends on objections and oppositions. We share a realistic timeline after the search.
