A trademark is a unique symbol, logo, or name that identifies and distinguishes your products or services from others in the market.

Trademark registration grants exclusive rights to use the mark, provides legal protection, and enhances the brand’s credibility.

To register a trademark in India, file an application with the Trademark Registrar, including details about the mark and its usage.
Words, logos, slogans, and even unconventional marks can be registered as trademarks in India.
The registration process typically takes around 12-18 months, but it can vary based on factors like examination and opposition proceedings.

Certainly! The process of trademark registration in India involves several stages, each with its own duration. Here’s a guide to the typical process flow with estimated durations:

Pre-Filing Search (2-3 days):

Conduct a pre-filing search to ensure that your proposed trademark doesn’t conflict with existing registrations. This helps in avoiding potential objections.

Filing of Trademark Application (1 day):

Prepare and file the trademark application with the Trademark Registry. This can be done online through the official portal.

Examination by the Trademark Office (6-9 months):

The Trademark Office examines the application to ensure compliance with legal requirements. This stage may take several months, and you may receive examination reports.

Response to Examination Report (1-2 months):

If there are objections or issues raised during examination, you need to respond to the examination report within the stipulated time. Failure to respond may lead to abandonment of the application.

Publication in Trademark Journal (2-3 months):

If there are no objections or after successfully overcoming objections, the application is published in the Trademark Journal. This is a public notice period during which third parties can oppose the registration.

Opposition Period (4 months):

The trademark is open for opposition for a period of 4 months from the date of publication. If there are no oppositions, the application proceeds to registration.

Registration Certificate Issuance (1-2 months): Once the opposition period expires without any opposition, and there are no further objections, the Trademark Registry issues the Registration Certificate.

Total Duration (Approximately 12-18 months):

The entire process from filing the application to receiving the Registration Certificate typically takes around 12-18 months, but this can vary based on factors like objections, oppositions, and the workload of the Trademark Registry.

The cost varies based on the type of applicant and the number of classes under which the mark is registered. Check our pricing page for details.
