Trademark Registration
Filing of a trademark application with the Trade Marks Registry to protect your brand name, logo or tagline across India.
Overview
The application is filed in Form TM-A in the class that matches your goods or services under the Nice Classification. You can use the ™ symbol once the application is filed; the ® symbol can only be used after registration.
After filing, the Registry examines the application and may issue an examination report, which must be answered within one month. Accepted marks are advertised in the Trade Marks Journal and open to opposition for four months before registration, which lasts ten years and can be renewed.

Common questions
How long does trademark registration take?
Without objections or oppositions, registration typically takes from several months to over a year, mainly because of examination and the four-month opposition period. Your rights date back to the filing date.
Is the government fee included?
The government filing fee is shown separately in the price breakdown. It is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises filing online, and ₹9,000 per class for other applicants.
Should I register the name and the logo separately?
A combined mark protects the two together, but separate applications for the word mark and the logo give broader protection. Each is a separate application with its own fee.
