Q: When can I use the ™ symbol?

A ™ symbol can be used as soon as the application is filed and an acknowledgement is received. The ® symbol can be used once the registration process is complete.

Q: What if my trademark is taken, but under a different class?

The good news is that you can still register your brand name even if it has already been registered under a different class. The application is likely to be approved unless the brand is too well known (like McDonald's or Fiat).

Q: What if someone has a similar word trademarked?

Despite not being able to get the word, all is not lost. Instead, you could design a unique logo for your business that includes the name. There is a way out, but it is best to have a unique name.

Q: Do you guarantee approval of my trademark?

Ultimately, it depends on the government's judgment. However, if it is unique, it is highly likely that it will be granted.

Q: How long does it take to get my trademark?

It can take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year for your trademark to be approved. If we can obtain all the details and documents as soon as possible, we can apply and start using the ™ symbol within a few days.

Q: Is my trademark application valid across the world?

Any trademark registered in India will only be valid in India. Some countries, however, use the trademark filing in India as a basis for registering the trademark in their country.

Overview - Overview for Trademark Registration

Building a brand takes a lot of time, effort, and money. You must therefore ensure that you have the right to use your brand's logo, tagline, product shape, package, sound, fragrance, and colour combinations. A trademark is an intellectual property that distinguishes your products or services from those of your competitors.In India, trademarks can be registered under the Trademark Act, 1999. Registration gives the holder exclusive ownership rights and prevents others from using it.

With trademark registration, the 'TM' symbol may be used for both the applicant and the brand. The brand name must be protected by registering a trademark in India. Obtaining trademark registration under the supervision of a professional is usually the best option since it involves several steps and requires constant government monitoring.

Types of Trademark registration in India

Product Mark: Unlike a service mark, a product mark identifies a good or a product and protects the company's reputation. Since they represent commodities, trademark applications filed under trademarks 1-34 could be considered product marks.

Service Mark: As opposed to product marks, service marks identify services rather than products. Their primary purpose is to distinguish the proprietors from those offering similar services. Trademark classes 35-45 represent services, so they could be considered service marks.

Collective Mark: A collective mark tells the public about a group's unique characteristics, allowing a group of people to protect goods and services collectively. Trademark holders can be associations, public institutions, or Section 8 corporations.

Certification Mark: It is a sign issued by the proprietor that indicates the product's origin, substance, quality, or other specific data. A product's certification establishes a standard and guarantees quality by passing standardised tests. Generally, certification marks are found on packaged goods, toys, and electronics.

Shape Mark: The shape mark is used to identify a product belonging to a specific manufacturer. Once it is determined that the product has a distinctive shape, the mark can be registered.

Pattern Mark: Registrable pattern marks are for products with a distinctive design pattern. Patterns that do not stand out as noteworthy are rejected.

Sound Mark: A sound logo is a sound used to identify a product or service. They occur at the beginning and end of commercials. The most popular sound mark in India is the tune for IPL.
