Trademark Registration

A trademark is a visible sign for instance a word or name, number, label or color scheme which identifies a company’s products as different from those sold by similar others. Trademarks in India are managed by the Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The Trademark Act enacted in 1999 provides for registration of trademarks and confers upon the owner thereof the right to compensation for any infringement thereof. Registering a trademark or brand names owned by corporations serve as protection against loss of investment made in branding.

You must register your trademark only if it is exclusively for your goods and services.

Exact duplicates of already registered trademarks are not permitted to be registered as proposed trademarks. Moreover, trademarks that involve expressly protected emblems; are derisive; vague; misleading or not distinctive cannot be registered.

After the completion of the trademark registration process, you can start using the R symbol in front of your name which will remain valid for period of 10 years. The trademark registration period may be renewed periodically by means of an application for trademark renewal before the expiration of its registration period so as to continue running it for another 10 years.
