Dear Members,

I seek your valuable suggestions on this below mentioned query:-

Mr. A is involved in manufacturing & trading of various products of different categories, which he has been selling under a tag name say " ABC" . Now Mr. A wants this tag name "ABC" to be registered as their brand name. If we go in for trade mark registration then we have to file seperate application for each product thats been manufactured and traded, so we seek a way where we can register the name " ABC" as brand name where we can include as many products as we want and trade in them.

Is this Brand registration possible??

If yes would be really kind if any one can detail the procedure for the same?

Thanks in anticipation

Regards

Shruti Agarwal

Dear Ms. Shtuti,

In my opinion, you have to go for registration of Trademark for every product. Because under Trade Mark Act, every Mark is registered under different class so that it would not cause confusion to the public.

You have to file application in form TM-1 along with a fee of Rs. 3500 for each class along with required documents to apply for the registration of Trademark.

Thanks for the response sir but there might be some way out for getting brand name registered which covers all products. the number products along with the category can be given at the time of applying for that brand name.

If u can enlighten over it would be really kind of you.

Thanks & Regards

Yes, you can also file form TM-52. It is a single application under section 18(2) for the registration of a trade mark for different classes of goods or services. The fee is 3500 per class.

But, no benefit for the Company as fee is same and the procedure is same.
