Trademark Filing Order Form (Indian Applicants)

A trademark is a unique symbol, word, or combination used to distinguish goods or services of a business. Filing a trademark in India is essential to protect your brand’s identity and prevent others from using a similar mark, ensuring brand recognition and legal rights.

In India, trademarks can include words, logos, slogans, and even non-conventional marks like sound, smell, and shape, provided they can be graphically represented and meet the distinctiveness criteria. Generic terms or common symbols cannot be registered.

The trademark registration process in India typically takes around 18-24 months, assuming there are no objections, oppositions, or delays. The process includes examination, publication, and registration.

Registering a trademark in India provides exclusive rights to use the mark for the registered goods and services. It offers legal protection against infringement, helps build brand recognition, and can be used as an asset for licensing or franchising.

Yes, foreign businesses and individuals can apply for trademark registration in India. India is part of the Madrid Protocol, which allows for international trademark registration, making it easier for foreign entities to protect their trademarks in India.
