What Can You Register as a Trademark?
Almost anything that uniquely identifies your business can be trademarked. Here is a full list of what Indian trademark law protects.
Brand Name

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.
Name + Logo Combo
A combination of your brand name and logo together — often the strongest trademark type.
Colour Mark
A specific colour or colour combination that uniquely identifies your brand in the market.
Sound Mark
A distinctive sound associated with your brand — like a unique jingle or audio signature.

Your Brand. Protected.
Why Every Brand Needs a Registered Trademark
An unregistered brand is a brand anyone can copy. Once you register your trademark with the Indian IP Office, you own it legally for 10 years — renewable forever.
- ✔ Sue infringers in court with full legal standing
- ✔ Use the ® symbol legally after registration
- ✔ Protect brand across all 45 classes
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

🔄 Trademark Renewal
Keep Your Brand Protected — Renew Every 10 Years
A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application. After 10 years, you must renew it — otherwise it lapses and anyone can legally use your brand name.
We track your renewal dates and notify you well in advance. Delays can lead to additional fees or permanent loss of your trademark protection.
- File renewal application online on IP India portal
- Renewed for another 10 years from date of expiry
- 6-month grace period if renewal is missed (with additional fees)
- Restoration available even after grace period in special cases
⚔️ Objection & Opposition
We Fight for Your Brand When Challenged
Sometimes the IP India examiner raises an objection — for example, if your trademark is too similar to an existing one or considered too generic. We draft and file a detailed, legally sound reply to overcome the objection.
If a third party opposes your trademark during the 4-month journal publication period, we represent you in the opposition proceedings and defend your brand's right to registration.
- Professional reply drafting for examiner objections
- Opposition representation in IP India hearings
- Legal strategy to overcome similarity and descriptiveness objections
- End-to-end support until your trademark is successfully registered
