Trademark Registration

Trademark registration is the process of securing legal ownership of your brand name, logo, or mark under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The process begins with a trademark search, followed by filing the application in the correct class, examination by the Registry, advertisement in the Trademark Journal, and finally registration. Filing in the right class and responding properly to any objections are key to a smooth registration.

We handle the entire registration journey for you. If the Registry raises an objection, we draft the reply; if your mark faces an opposition, we defend it; and once registered, we help you obtain your registration certificate and manage renewals. New to trademarks? See our trademark overview.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register a trademark in India?

Registration involves conducting a trademark search, filing an application in the correct class with the Trade Marks Registry, responding to any examination objections, advertisement in the Trademark Journal, and registration if there is no successful opposition.

What is a trademark class?

Goods and services are grouped into classes under an international classification system. You must register your trademark in the class or classes that cover your actual goods or services, and you can file in more than one class if needed.

How long does trademark registration take?

If there are no objections or oppositions, registration can take several months to over a year, depending on the Registry's workload and whether the application proceeds smoothly through examination and advertisement.

Can I use the trademark while registration is pending?

Yes. You can use the mark and the TM symbol while the application is pending. The R symbol can be used only after the trademark is registered.

What documents are needed for trademark registration?

Commonly required documents include the mark or logo, details of the applicant, the goods or services and class, the date of first use if any, and a signed authorisation. The exact requirements depend on the applicant type.
