02 July 2008 OUTLINE OF THE TRADEMARK REGISTRATION PROCEDURE:

Trademark Search: It is advisable to conduct a trademark search for the relevant classes before filing the application to register a trademark in order to make sure that there is no identical or similar trademark already registered or for which an application for registration has been submitted.
Filing Application: The application to register the trademark is filed with the Registrar of Trademarks.
Publication in the Trademark Gazette: If after a preliminary examination, the Trademark Registrar considers the mark to be distinctive, it orders the publication of the mark in the Trademark Gazette. If no opposition to the mark is filed within 90 days from the date of publication, or 120 days if request for extension of time is given by an opponent and opposition is refused, mark proceeds for grant of registration certificate.
Trademark Registration: The trademark is registered and the trademark registration certificate is issued by the Registrar of Trademarks.
If there is no objection and /or opposition raised, the process of registration of trademark usually takes 1-1.5 years and incase of any objection/opposition proceedings it usually takes approx 2 years
