Overview
What is Trademark Registration?
A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand name, logo or slogan for the goods or services it covers, and a legal basis to act against anyone who copies it. In India, applications are filed with the Trade Marks Registry using Form TM-A, and a registration stays valid for 10 years, renewable indefinitely.
Our experts run a search to spot conflicting marks, help you pick the right classes, prepare the application and file it. Once filed, you can start using the ™ symbol; the ® symbol can be used after the mark is registered.
