Yes it's taxable & cover under Intellectual Property (IP) in term of notification 11/2017 CT

GST is 12%

Is this GST applicable on Government fees for a new trademark application?

We've not been charged any GST in the invoice. Only the fees. Is it under reverse charge?

Yes the amount charged by trade mark registry, a govt. Of india deptt, is chargeable under gst through reverse charge mechanism @ 18%.

The governmenr filing fee paid directly to the trademark registray is not subject to GST. No GST added to the official fee. However, if you hire a trademark agent, lawyer, or consultant to handle the filing, their professional service charges are taxable under GST. In most cases, GST is charged at 18% on the service portion. So, GST does not apply to the government fee itself, but it does apply to professional or consultancy charges.
