05 / YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently Asked Questions
A little clarity before you take the next step with your brand.
Read the official trademark guidance ↗What is trademark registration?
Trademark registration helps legally protect a distinctive brand name, logo, tagline or other mark for the goods or services covered by the registration. A valid registration grants statutory rights, subject to applicable conditions and limitations.
Who can apply for a trademark?
An individual or an entity, including a company, partnership, LLP, trust or society, may apply if it claims ownership of a mark already used or proposed to be used.
What documents are required for trademark registration?
Prepare the applicant’s details, the trademark name or logo, and a description of the goods or services. Identity and business records, agent authorisation and fee-concession evidence may be required depending on the applicant; prior-use claims require a user affidavit with supporting documents.
How long does trademark registration take?
There is no guaranteed completion date. Examination, publication and a four-month opposition period are part of the process; objections, hearings or opposition can extend the timeline.
Can I register a trademark online?
Yes. Applications can be filed through IP India’s official trademark e-filing portal, directly or through an authorised representative. Online filing does not guarantee acceptance or registration.
How long is a trademark valid?
In India, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the application date. It can be renewed for further 10-year periods, subject to the prescribed requirements.
Can I trademark a business name?
Yes, if the business name is distinctive for the relevant goods or services and meets registration requirements. Generic, merely descriptive or conflicting names may face objections; registering a company name does not itself register a trademark.
Do I need to search for an existing trademark?
A search is strongly recommended before filing to identify identical or similar earlier marks for relevant goods or services. It helps assess risk but cannot guarantee registration or freedom from disputes.
Can I register a trademark without a company?
Yes. An individual can apply in their own name without incorporating a company, including on a proposed-to-be-used basis when the mark has not yet been used.
Can a registered trademark be renewed?
Yes. A registered trademark may be renewed repeatedly for further periods of 10 years by filing the required renewal application and paying the prescribed fee within the applicable time.
Does filing guarantee registration?
No. Filing an application does not guarantee registration. Examination, objections and any opposition can affect the outcome.
How much will it cost?
The total depends on your applicant category, number of classes and scope of support. Ask for an itemised quote covering professional charges and applicable government fees before proceeding.
