What Can You Register as a Trademark?

🎨

Logo

Your unique symbol, icon, or design that represents your business visually.

💬

Slogan or Tagline

A phrase closely associated with your business — like a catchphrase or marketing line.

Trademark Classes

Which Trademark Class Do You Need?

Trademarks are divided into 45 classes — Classes 1 to 34 cover goods and Classes 35 to 45 cover services. You must file in the class that matches your business activity. Filing in the wrong class means your trademark may not protect you properly.

We analyse your business and identify the correct trademark class or classes for you. Most businesses need to register in 1 to 3 classes.

✔ We identify the right class for your business — included in our service at no extra charge.

Why Register?

Benefits of Trademark Registration

A trademark is more than legal protection — it is a business asset that grows in value as your brand grows.

⚖️

Legal Ownership of Your Brand

You become the only one who can legally use your trademark in India. No one else can copy or misuse your brand name, logo, or slogan.

🛡️

Stop Infringers Legally

You can take legal action — including injunctions and damages — against anyone who copies or imitates your registered trademark.

Use TM and ® Symbols

Use the ™ symbol immediately after filing. After full registration, upgrade to the ® symbol — a powerful signal of brand credibility.

📈

Increases Brand Value

A registered trademark significantly increases your brand's market value and makes your business more attractive to investors and buyers.

💼

Trademark as a Business Asset

A trademark can be sold, licensed, or franchised like any other business property — creating an additional revenue stream for your company.

🛃

Customs Protection Against Fakes

Indian Customs can block counterfeit goods bearing your registered trademark from entering the country — protecting your reputation and sales.

🌍

Gateway to International Protection

Your Indian trademark registration serves as the basis for applying for trademark protection in other countries through the Madrid Protocol.

🚀

Protect Your Startup Early

Register before investing heavily in brand building. Many startups are forced into costly rebrands because they did not protect their trademark early enough.

Be Prepared

Documents Required for Trademark Registration

We guide you through every document step by step. Here is what you will need to share with us to begin your trademark application.

📋 Applicant Information

  • Applicant's full name and address
  • Business type — individual, company, partnership, LLP, etc.
  • PAN Card of the applicant
  • Udyam or MSME certificate (for concessional government fee, if applicable)
  • Date of first use of the trademark (if already in use)

🎨 Trademark Details

Application to Approval

Trademark Registration Process — Step by Step

We handle everything — from the first trademark search to final registration. Here is exactly how the process works.

01

Step 01

Trademark Search

We search the IP India database to check if your name or logo is already registered or pending. This step prevents rejection and saves you time and money before filing.

02

Step 02

Class Identification

We identify the correct trademark class or classes for your business activity. Filing in the wrong class means your trademark may not protect you properly — we make sure you are in the right one.

03

Step 03

Application Filing ™ Use Starts Here

We file your trademark application on the IP India portal. You immediately receive an application number — and you can now legally use the ™ symbol next to your brand name.

04

Step 04

Examination by IP India

The IP India office examines your application for any conflicts or issues. If they raise objections, we draft and file a detailed reply on your behalf to overcome them.

05

Step 05

Publication in Trade Marks Journal

After passing examination, your trademark is published in the Trade Marks Journal for 4 months. During this time, any third party can file an opposition — we monitor and handle this for you.

06

Step 06

Registration Certificate Issued ® Unlocked

If no valid opposition is received, your trademark is officially registered. You receive the Registration Certificate and can now use the ® symbol — the gold standard of brand protection in India.
