Trademark Registration

What “Trademark Registration” Means

Your brand name, logo, or slogan is more than just a symbol — it’s your business identity and the goodwill you’ve built over time.
Registering a trademark gives you exclusive legal ownership of that identity and protection against misuse or imitation.

Key points:

• A trademark can be a word, logo, phrase, symbol, shape, sound, or colour combination that distinguishes your products or services from others.

• Registration gives you the exclusive right to use the mark in connection with your goods or services.

• Without registration, your brand remains vulnerable — someone else could register a similar mark and gain priority.

• Once registered, your trademark becomes a valuable business asset — it can be licensed, franchised, or even sold.

In short, trademark registration legally secures your brand identity and strengthens your business reputation.

Our Process – Step by Step

Trademark registration can sound technical, but we make it easy to understand and follow. Here’s how our process works:

Step 1: Initial Consultation
We discuss your brand, industry, and target market to determine the best trademark strategy for your business.

Step 2: Search & Classification
A detailed trademark search helps identify any similar marks already registered. We then decide the correct class(es) under which to file your application.

Step 3: Application Filing
We draft and submit your application online through the IP India portal, ensuring all details and supporting documents are accurate.

Step 4: Examination & Publication
The Trademark Registry examines your application. If objections arise, we prepare and file reasoned responses. Once accepted, your mark is published in the journal for a 4-month opposition period.

Step 5: Registration & Follow-Up
If no opposition is filed (or once any objection is resolved), your mark is registered and the Trademark Registration Certificate is issued. We then help you with correct usage, renewal reminders, and brand enforcement.

Documents & Information You’ll Need

Having the correct information and documents ready helps avoid delays and makes filing straightforward.

Keep these handy:

• Identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport) of the applicant or business owner.

• Address proof of the business or applicant.

• A clear image or representation of the logo or wordmark you wish to register.

• List of goods/services (class-wise) for which you seek protection.

• Signed Power of Attorney (Form TM-48) authorising us to file on your behalf.

• Proof of prior use (like invoices, packaging, brochures, website) — if claiming an earlier date of use.

We review everything carefully to ensure the filing meets all legal and procedural requirements.

Timeline & Cost Estimate

Trademark registration in India is affordable and largely digital — but the timeline depends on official processing and objections.

What to expect:

• With complete documents and no objections, registration can take around 12–18 months, though some cases finish earlier.

• Government fee: ₹4,500 per class for individuals/startups/small entities, and ₹9,000 per class for companies/others (for e-filing).

• Our professional fee covers trademark search, drafting, filing, tracking, and follow-up — we provide a transparent quote before starting.

• A trademark is valid for 10 years and renewable indefinitely — we send timely renewal alerts to keep your protection active.

LegalCliq ensures you always know your cost, progress, and next steps — from day one till final registration.
