PROCESS OF TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
The Trademark Registration Process in India
Getting a Trademark Registration in India is a multi-step process designed to ensure your brand is unique and legally protected. Here’s a focused look at the journey:
- Trademark Search (Crucial First Step): Before filing, a thorough trademark search is paramount. This involves checking the extensive database of the Indian Trademark Registry to see if your proposed brand name, logo, or slogan is already registered or too similar to existing marks across all 45 classes of goods and services. This critical initial step helps avoid future objections and ensures your mark is strong and registrable, saving time and resources down the line.
- Trademark Application Filing (Form TM-A): Once your desired mark clears the search, the next step is to file the official Trademark Application (Form TM-A). This form details information about your entity (individual, company, MSME), a clear representation of your trademark, and the specific class(es) under which your goods or services fall (as per the Nice Classification). Upon successful online filing, you receive an application number, allowing you to use the ™ symbol to indicate “trademark applied for.”
- Examination by the Trademark Office: After filing, your application undergoes rigorous examination by a Trademark Examiner. They assess the application for compliance with the Trademarks Act, 1999, and check for any potential conflicts. If the examiner finds issues, an “Examination Report” is issued, raising objections based on grounds like descriptiveness, lack of distinctiveness, or similarity to existing marks. A detailed, legal response must be filed within a strict timeframe to address these objections.
- Publication in the Trademark Journal: If your application is accepted (either initially or after successfully overcoming objections), your trademark is then published in the official Trademark Journal. This acts as a public notice, opening a four-month opposition period. During this time, any third party who believes your proposed mark infringes on their rights can file an opposition.
- Trademark Registration Certificate Issuance: If no opposition is filed within the four-month period, or if any opposition is successfully resolved in your favor, your trademark proceeds to final registration. The Trademark Registry then issues the official Trademark Registration Certificate. With this, you gain the exclusive right to use your trademark and can proudly display the ® symbol next to your brand, signifying full legal protection across India. The entire process, without major hurdles, typically takes 18-24 months.
