Overview

Trademark registration protects a brand name, logo, tagline, or symbol under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, giving the owner exclusive legal rights to use it and the ability to act against infringement. India follows a first-to-file system, so registering early — even before full-scale launch — protects the name from being claimed by someone else first.

Required Documents

  • Identity proof of the applicant (individual, partner, or director)
  • Address proof
  • Business registration certificate (incorporation certificate, partnership deed, or Udyam/MSME registration if applicable)
  • Signed Power of Attorney (Form TM-48) authorising the filing agent
  • Graphical representation of the trademark (wordmark/logo)
  • Details of goods/services and the applicable class(es)
  • Affidavit of prior use, if the mark is already in use

Process

1

Conduct a trademark search across all 45 classes to check for identical/similar existing marks

2

File Form TM-A online via the IP India portal with logo, applicant details, and class selection

3

Receive a unique application number — the ™ symbol can be used from this point

4

Vienna Codification for figurative elements like logos

5

Pay government-prescribed fees based on applicant type and number of classes

6

Trademark Examination by the Registrar — objections, if any, are raised at this stage

7

Respond to objections with clarification/evidence if raised

8

Publication in the Trademark Journal for a 4-month opposition window

9

If unopposed, registration certificate is issued (valid 10 years, renewable indefinitely)

Estimated Timeline

Typically 12–18 months for an uncontested application to reach registration given Registry backlog; 24–36 months if opposed. The ™ symbol can be used immediately after filing; the ® symbol only after registration.
