Trademark Registration
Protect your brand name and logo before someone else files it — search, application, objection replies and renewal, handled end to end.
Overview
Your brand name is often the most valuable thing your business builds — and legally, it belongs to whoever registers it first, not whoever used it first in most practical disputes. A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use the mark for your goods or services, the ® symbol, and a straightforward legal remedy against copycats. From the day of filing you can use the ™ symbol; registration, once granted, is valid for 10 years and renewable indefinitely.
The process has more traps than the online-portal ads suggest: choosing the wrong class means protection for a business you don't run; skipping the availability search invites objection or opposition; and an examination report unanswered within the deadline abandons the application. We run the search honestly (including telling you when a name is too risky to file), file in the correct classes, and stay with the application through examination, publication and registration.
Who needs this
- Businesses trading under a brand name, logo or tagline they want to own
- Startups and D2C brands building name recognition worth protecting
- Manufacturers whose products are copied or sold under lookalike names
- Businesses expanding to e-commerce platforms that ask for brand registry proof
- Anyone who received a trademark objection or opposition notice on a pending application
Documents required
- Brand name and/or logo in the exact form to be protected (logo in good-quality image)
- PAN and Aadhaar of the applicant (or incorporation documents for a company/LLP)
- Description of goods/services sold under the brand — we map this to the correct class(es)
- Udyam/MSME certificate if available (reduces the government fee for eligible applicants)
- User affidavit with earliest-use proof, if the brand is already in use
Your case may need one or two documents more or fewer — we confirm the exact checklist before starting.
How it works
-
Search & risk opinion
We search the trademark registry for identical and deceptively similar marks in your classes and give you a plain-language opinion: file confidently, file with known risk, or pick a stronger name. Filing a doomed mark wastes your fee — we'd rather tell you now.
-
Class selection & filing
Your goods and services are mapped to the correct class(es) under the Nice classification and the TM-A application is filed. You can begin using the ™ symbol immediately.
-
Examination & publication
If the examiner raises objections, we draft and file the reply within the deadline (typically one month) and attend a hearing if scheduled. Once accepted, the mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal for the opposition window.
-
Registration & upkeep
If no opposition is filed within the window (currently four months from publication) — or once any opposition is resolved — the registration certificate is issued. We diary the 10-year renewal so protection never lapses silently.
What you receive
- Trademark search report with a written risk opinion
- Filed TM application with acknowledgement — ™ usable from day one
- Examination report replies and hearing representation where required
- Registration certificate on grant, with renewal date tracked in our calendar
Pricing
Fixed fee, quoted in writing before work begins. The fee depends on your business constitution and the complexity of the case, so we quote after a short (free) conversation — never after the work is done.
