What is Trademark Registration?

Trademark registration is the legal process of recording your brand name, logo or mark with the Trade Marks Registry to obtain exclusive rights over it. A registered trademark gives you the sole right to use the mark for your goods or services and to take action against anyone who copies it.

The process involves a trademark search, filing the application (Form TM-A) in the relevant classes, examination by the Registry, publication in the Trade Marks Journal, and finally grant of the registration certificate. If the Registry raises concerns, we handle the objection reply and any hearing on your behalf. For an overview of the whole journey, see our trademark overview.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register a trademark in India?

You register a trademark by conducting a search, filing the TM-A application in the relevant classes, responding to any examination objections, clearing the journal publication period, and then receiving the registration certificate.

How long does trademark registration take?

If there are no objections or oppositions, trademark registration can take several months to around a year, depending on Registry timelines. You can use the TM symbol as soon as the application is filed.

Can I use the TM symbol before registration?

Yes. You can use the TM symbol as soon as you file the application or claim rights in the mark. The R symbol can be used only after the trademark is registered.

What documents are needed to register a trademark?

You typically need the mark or logo, details of the applicant, a description of the goods or services, the date of first use if already in use, and a signed authorisation in the prescribed form.

Can a trademark application be rejected?

Yes. An application can face an objection on absolute or relative grounds, or an opposition after publication. A strong search and a well-drafted reply reduce these risks, and we handle both for you.

Should I register in one class or multiple classes?

You should register in every class that covers your current and planned goods or services. Registering in only one class leaves related offerings unprotected, so we help you select the right classes.
