Trademark Registration
File your brand name or logo with the Trade Marks Registry and start using ™ the same day.
A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand for the goods or services you file for, anywhere in India, and lets you sue for infringement instead of having to prove reputation in a passing-off case. We check availability, pick the right class, draft the specification of goods or services, and file Form TM-A online. You get an application number on the day of filing and can use the ™ symbol immediately; ® can be used once the mark is registered.

How it works
Search and advice
We search the Registry records and tell you honestly if the mark is likely to face objections.
Drafting
We fix the class and write a precise description of your goods or services.
Filing
The application is e-filed and you receive the application number and receipt.
Examination
The Registry examines the application; if an objection is raised we file the reply (Complete plan).
Journal and registration
Once accepted, the mark is advertised for four months. If nobody opposes, the certificate is issued.
Frequently asked questions
How long does trademark registration take in India?
Filing is done in a day. If there is no objection or opposition, registration usually follows within roughly 8 to 12 months, because of the four-month opposition window after advertisement.
What is the government fee?
The official e-filing fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises, and ₹9,000 per class for others. Our price is shown separately so you can see exactly what goes to the government.
Can I use ® after filing?
No. You can use ™ from the day you file. The ® symbol may only be used after the mark is registered; using it earlier is an offence under the Trade Marks Act.
Do I need a separate application for the logo and the word?
They can be filed separately or together. A word mark protects the name in any style; a logo (device) mark protects the artwork. Most brands file the word first, and the logo if it is distinctive.
