What it is

What is a trademark?

A trademark is a sign — typically a brand name, logo, tagline or combination — that distinguishes your goods or services from others. Registration under the Trade Marks Act helps you enforce exclusive rights in India for the classes you file.

Brand name registration

Protect the word mark customers use to find and refer to your business.

Logo trademark

Protect distinctive device marks and logo artwork used on packaging and digital channels.

Enforcement foundation

A registered mark strengthens notices, marketplace takedowns and civil remedies against lookalikes.

When you need it

When should you register a trademark?

File early if you are building brand equity, selling online, or preparing to raise capital. Waiting until a conflict appears is usually more expensive than a timely application.

Distinctive brand ready to use

You have a distinctive brand name or logo you plan to use commercially.

Selling online or on marketplaces

You sell on marketplaces, social commerce or your own storefront.

Launching with incorporation

You are incorporating and want brand protection alongside company registration.

Similar names in your category

You have seen confusingly similar names in your category.

  3. Step 03

    Application filing

    Prepare and submit the application with supporting documents.

  4. Step 04

    Examination & objections

    Track status and help prepare replies if the registry raises queries.

  5. Step 05

    Publication & registration

    After clearance and the opposition window, registration may issue for the filed classes.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I trademark a brand name and a logo together?

You can file word marks, device (logo) marks, or both. Class strategy and mark form should match how you actually use the brand.

How long does trademark registration take in India?

Timelines vary with examination, objections and any opposition. We track status and help you respond when the registry raises queries — we do not promise fixed approval dates.

Is the ₹16,749 offer the final cost?

It is the published professional support offer already shown on our trademark templates. Government fees and multi-class filings can change the total; you receive a written estimate for your case.

Do I need a company before filing a trademark?

No. Individuals, partnerships and companies can apply. Many founders file as they incorporate — see our business registration options if you also need an entity.
