Your trade mark can be a valuable business asset. Trade marks have come to represent not only actual goods and services, but also the reputation of the business. Normally a Trademark indicates to your logo or brand, which is distinctive from your competitors. A trademark can be a word, letter, number, phrase, symbol, shape or combination thereof.

For registering a trademark in India, you are required to follow a thorough process through the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trademarks. The process of trademark registration consists of several steps that need to be followed. Here’s how it works:

1. Trademark Search:

Before applying for trademark registration, it’s important to conduct a trademark search on the IP India website to ensure that your brand name/logo is not already registered or similar to any existing mark.

2. Choose the Correct Class:

Trademarks are categorized into 45 classes based on the nature of goods/services. Choose the correct class(es) relevant to your business.

3. Prepare Documents:

Submit identity/address proof, logo (if any), nature of business, and Form TM-48 (if applying through an agent).

For companies, the applicant needs to submit a Certificate of Incorporation and other relevant details.

4. File Trademark Application (Form TM-A):

File online through IP India Trademark Portal or with the help of a trademark attorney. Pay the applicable government fee (₹4,500 for individual/startup/MSME; ₹9,000 for others per class).

5. Examination & Objection (if any):

The Trademark Registry examines the application and may raise objections if it finds similarities or procedural issues. If objected, a response or hearing may be required.

6. Publication in Trademark Journal:

If there is no objection or opposition, the mark is published in the Trademark Journal for public viewing.

7. Registration Certificate:

If no opposition arises within 4 months of publication, your trademark is registered, and you will receive a Registration Certificate valid for 10 years (renewable).

Conclusion

In conclusion, trademark registration procedure involves several legal formalities to safeguard your brand identity and give you exclusive rights to use it. Consult a trademark expert such as Setindiabiz for a hassle-free trademark registration process.
