About this service

Trademark Registration confers an exclusive statutory right to the use of a brand name, wordmark, logo, or slogan in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered. Governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and managed by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM), registration protects against counterfeiters, establishes nationwide priority, and creates an intangible commercial asset valid for 10 years and perpetually renewable.

Eligibility & thresholds

What's included

Everything in one transparent fee — no add-ons, no surprises.

Rigorous Brand Name Clearance

We do not merely file your chosen brand name blindly. Our IP attorneys conduct a forensic clearance search. We meticulously analyze phonetic equivalents, foreign language translations, and conceptually similar names existing within the trademark registry. This exhaustive preemptive strike ensures your brand name doesn't face fatal legal challenges post-launch.

Strategic 'Wordmark' Filing Expertise

Registering a brand name is optimally done as a 'Wordmark' rather than a logo. A wordmark provides the broadest possible legal protection, securing the name itself regardless of font, color, or stylization. Our experts specialize in drafting airtight wordmark applications that maximize your commercial monopoly over the brand name.

Pre-Emptive Objection Mitigation

Brand names are frequently subjected to 'distinctiveness' objections by the registry if they are perceived as generic or descriptive. Our attorneys possess a deep understanding of registry precedent. We proactively structure your application—often incorporating user affidavits and evidence of acquired distinctiveness—to preemptively neutralize these common objections.

Expedited Application Filing

In the hyper-competitive business landscape, whoever files first secures priority rights. Our streamlined digital infrastructure and expert document processing ensure your brand name application is filed within 24 hours of finalization. This rapid deployment guarantees your priority date and allows immediate use of the ™ symbol.

Continuous Market Surveillance

Our responsibility doesn't end with a successful filing. We deploy advanced monitoring software to continuously scan the public domain, trademark journals, and corporate registries for entities attempting to register or use confusingly similar brand names. We alert you immediately, allowing for swift, decisive legal action.

Holistic Brand Architecture Advisory

We advise on the overarching architecture of your brand. Whether you have a master brand, sub-brands, or specific product line names, we develop a comprehensive registration strategy that optimizes protection across relevant trademark classes while maximizing your budget efficiency.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.

1
Proposing a descriptive or generic brand name (Section 9 objection)
Why: Trade Marks Act prohibits registering words that merely describe the product's character or quality (e.g. 'Pure Cold Pressed Oil').
Fix: We conduct pre-filing distinctiveness evaluation and suggest distinctive, coined, or arbitrary brand elements.
2
Filing without a prior phonetic and visual trademark search
Why: Existing registered or pending marks in the same or related Nice class trigger Section 11 relative grounds objections.
Fix: Our IP attorneys run exhaustive phonetic searches on the IP India database across all 45 classes before filing.
3
Selecting incorrect Nice Class or vague goods specification
Why: Protection is strictly bounded by the classes filed; incorrect classification leaves your primary offerings unprotected.
Fix: We draft precise, legally audited goods and services specifications matching international Nice Classification standards.
