    Trademark Application

    Trademark Registration

    A trademark is a brand or logo which distinguishes one product or service from those of competitors. And trademark registration would mean authenticating the brand or logo used by an entity in business from government to restrict its usage by other people. By getting trademark registration of the logo or brand and then using it gives the owner or applicant the sole right to use it in anyway and he also gets legal protection on its illegal usage.
    • Registered trademark work as an intangible asset to any brand or business.
    • A trademark is registrable only if it distinguishes some uniqueness for the good and services supplied.
    • A trademark cannot be legally registered if it includes deceptive, not distinctive, generic or some protected symbols

    Trademark Registration Process

    Upon filing of the application, the registry will issue us with an official receipt with the filing date and number allotted to the application.The application is then formally examined by the Indian Trade Marks Office, as to its inherent registrability and/or any similarity with existing marks. If an objection to registration is raised, an official examination report will issue. To overcome the objection, it is necessary to file a written response or presenting evidence of acquired distinctiveness and in most cases, an interview/hearing with the examiner is posted. The Registrar may require the applicant to file an affidavit testifying to such user with exhibits showing the mark as used.
    If, following examination, the trade mark application is considered allowable, a Letter of Acceptance (TLA order) will issue, after which the trademark will be published in the Trade Marks Journal. If there are no oppositions within 4 months from the date of advertisement in the Trade Marks Journal, then the trademark registration certificate will issue.

    Once the trademark is registered, it is valid for a period of 10 years from the date of application. The registration can then be renewed indefinitely as long as the renewal fees are paid every 10 years.
