Registrations, licences and brand protection
Trademark registration in India
We help prepare an application to protect a name or logo. We first identify the owner, what you want to protect and the relevant goods or services.
How we can help
- We make an initial registry search and discuss similarity risks.
- We choose classes and the list of goods or services and prepare the TM-A filing materials.
- We help track examination and publication. If the examiner or a third party objects, we coordinate with a specialist.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to register a company first?
An individual can also apply. Decide who should own the mark, especially if an existing company is developing the brand.
Does registering a company name protect the brand?
Company name reservation and trademark registration are separate. Trademark protection depends on the mark and the listed goods and services.
Can I use ® after filing?
The ® symbol is for a registered trademark. An application number confirms filing. Registration is decided after the statutory stages.
How long does a trademark registration last?
Registration lasts ten years and can be renewed for successive ten-year periods. Indian registration protects the mark in India. Protection elsewhere requires separate planning.
How long does registration take?
There is no fixed timeline. Examination, examiner objections and the third-party opposition period affect the process. We discuss timing by stage.
What determines the cost of a trademark filing?
The official fee depends on the applicant category, filing method and number of marks and classes. We agree separately on support fees and any extra work.
