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.

It is important to get a properly signed authorization letter from you before we start making the documents because it allows us to file for your trademark registration in your name. As soon as we get the authorization letter, we start searching for the necessary files to make it an online application. Then, the application will be approved shortly and you will be able to use the trademark symbol ™. These documents are necessary when applying for trademark registration:
A Name is a very precise Recognition that can be trademark whether it is first and last name. For Ex:- Jackie Shroff
A term that does not expressly describe the nature or caliber of the product or service e.g. "Google" is a trademark.
Alphabetic or characters, numbers, or any combination of both e.g. 555 brands.
Take the tick in the Nike emblem . For instance letters, images , symbols , monograms .
Sound marks in audio format. For example, the sound in the ad jingle
For instance – Sound it’s Audible markup for sounds e.g. the jingle in an advertisement
The following items are examples but by no means do we imply they are exhaustive: invented words, dictionary selections at random, symbols and their device-like things; monograms; a color or a combination of colors along with some word or device; forms of goods or their packaging; three-dimensional signage; slogans & phrases; logos; graphic content, etc.
Under Indian trademark law, things such as sounds, words / logos / images / symbols / initials including all these things together can be registered.
Note: In case of Non Profit Organizations and Limited Liability Partnerships, a name of the associated entity or company is compulsorily required as an applicant for trademark registration.
Anyone can apply for registration in writing under the specified format posing as an owner of a trademark being used or intended to be used. Application must contain details such as the trademark itself, goods/services covered thereby, name and address of the applicant and his/her power of attorney, and how long the mark has been in use. The application has to be made in Hindi or English language. One needs to apply for them with the appropriate office.
Registered trademarks help create perception of security, quality and trust among customers by promoting their products or services under them in question. An identity can be unique because it is associated with few other traders.
If you or anyone else copies any part of your trademark including logo registration, brand name or slogan then the registered trademark owner has all rights and can take legal actions against them as a result of infringement.
The consumers can only see one item or service by its particular name brand . Registering the mark ensures no one else shall use it, thus making it a proprietary property of the company.
It is permissible to register and file a trademark in India then other countries (that are outside India). Besides, foreign nationals may also register and file trademarks in India.
If your brand registration becomes famous and successful then the mark might become an important facility. A registered mark becomes an intangible asset which can be sold, bought, leased or even shared for a profit. So both the business and individual owner stand to gain from this.
It may be given to the trademark proprietor who has registered it with such rights that are exclusive in nature. For all available products, one may register the same trademark within its category. Having exclusive rights to goods or services ensures that no one can use them without authority outside it.
Once you have filed your application for a trademark, you are allowed to use the sign indicating that your trademark is registered (®). By using this symbol, it shows that nobody else can file a similar application as this is already a registered trademark. If someone makes an unauthorized use of his/her registered marks, he/she could go to court against the person infringing upon her/his legal rights.
Branding enables customers to acquire knowledge about items quickly. Diverse items develop their own identities, which helps them differentiate between each other.
The act of registering a trademark makes business go public with it or its products. This differentiates them and stimulates the evolution of brands. Most of the time, using trademarks is how businesses get their identity, thereby making them important for the creation or enhancement of brand value.
For as long as someone has registered a trademark physically, they can develop, protect and preserve the fame of his own merchandise or services. The trademark owner is also able to prevent others from selling them. Another option is to sue an infringer for utilizing one’s brand name.
There’s a feature in the product which makes customers connect it to the company’s brand name. Due to the availability of this product in many areas, more and more consumers are attracted hence contributing to increased sales during trading hours.
On behalf of its clients, LegalRaasta makes sure that they have searched and determined whether a trademark or a brand registration name is available or whether it’s registered under a different class.
After we verify that the name or the design you have chosen is available and unique, we will send you an authorization letter that should be signed correctly according to your specifications and must be returned to us. Our lawyers are given permission by these letters to apply for trademarks on your behalf.
As soon as we get the authorization letter, you can start using TM sign immediately, provided
that all the details are filled in as they should be; this way our lawyers will file
trademark registration for you respectively. From our side, you will be assigned a
number of
the TM application.
The trademark application is submitted via the internet or
directly at
central trademark offices using a lawyer who holds a certificate which allows him/her to
register trademarks online only.
Once you have submitted your application form, the office will examine it. For example, if
your name is deemed to be rude or offensive, then there may be an objection from the
government as well; comparing our trademark with another one in the same class may cause
problems regarding religious feelings as well. Therefore, in case no objections are raised
against it, the trademark registrar shall publish its advertisement in the trademark act
journal. If there is no opposition from any side within four months’ time, then a trademark
must be registered during the following six months’ period without fail. During this period
we inform you about progress made on your application.
With respect to such
objections
additional fee implies himself under his own conditions also.
Concerning your trademark, if the opposition does not ascertain with your response after an object has been filed, then a hearing before the registrar will be held. We hire lawyers at an extra cost who litigate on your behalf in front of the registrar.
The registration of a Trademark may show its status as “Objected”, this means that they received one or more objections against it, either because it is similar to existing registered trademarks or due to other reasons like being offensive.Directory of all objected trademark registrations are available.This raises the issues as per Sections 9 and 11. An objection may be raised under Section 9 when it is found by the authority that a trade mark is descriptive of goods. To deny this, one must provide evidence that supports and establishes its own distinctiveness.
In case the same mark is discovered by an authorized person in Section 11, this means that there is already an existing mark for similar goods, services or products. The candidate must ensure that relevant documents required for such objection are produced within such a period; such action will lead to removal of objection against him or her.
Just registering the label is not a guarantee of progress in the long run. A trademark is valid for ten years, after which it must be renewed.
Before the expiration date of a trademark an application for its renewal should be done. The renewal application form should be filled and submitted prior to the expiry date so that there will be no lawsuits and continue enjoying smooth protection of trade mark.
You use TM-12 for completion of renewal applications.
Once a trademark application is registered in the TradeMark office or online, the
candidate can begin applying the TM symbol on products or services, and if the
trademark is registered, then the candidate specifies the ® symbol over his
trademark. All registered trademarks are valid for 10 years from the date of
registration.
At the end of the validity of a trademark, a trademark can be renewed simply by
giving the Government fee for registration within 6 months via “Form TM-12”, from
the date of expiry of the trademark.
An expired trademark can be renewed through Form TM-13 (Restoration & Renewal) after
6 months and within 1year from the expiration of the last registration of the
trademark.
The advancement in technology has enabled the faster and easier registration of trademarks online. In place of visiting the office for registrations, you can now opt to go for online registrations with the help of a licensed attorney specialized in trademarks.
It is an essential part of the trademarking process that ensures those trademarks meet certain categories in order for them to submit applications submitted there. Once you file your application; it will receive international classification as part of Vienna codification which means that your request for registration will now appear as - sent for Vienna codification.
Once the application for Vienna classification is submitted, the Trademark officer will analyze it according to specific protocols and rules. The official may either decide to approve or reject the application based on his discretion.
If a trademark application is refused, the candidate can ask for a hearing. If the officer is satisfied with the documents submitted, he will pass on the application. If not, the application is rejected again. If there are any unsatisfactory parts regarding such rejection, then the Intellectual Property Appellate Board can be involved.
Our trademark safeguarding alternatives are all-inclusive within India. For this reason “LegalRaasta” offers trademark protection consultation prior to making any applications as well as post trademark application advice. However, it is important to bear in mind that granting a trademark registration remains the domain and discretion of only the Trademark Registrar; thus neither “LegalRaasta” nor its agents can guarantee such an eventuality at this stage.
Before applying for a trademark, we also offer assistance with conducting a searching procedure on similar or identical trademarks under The Trade Marks Act is prohibitive. This trademark search facilitates ease in locating similar sounding registrations. However, trademark examiners handle the connection test
If a trademark application gets rejected by the Trademark Examiner, the applicant can respond to the objection by presenting evidence and arguments that support trademark registration. In reaction to this answer, the Examiner may ask for a hearing, allow trademark filing to move forward or reject it altogether.
Before registering a trademark, it will be published in the Trademark Journal by the Trademark Registrar. In addition, he will allow anyone 90 days to provide resistance.
You can begin the use of the ® symbol, which represents that the trademark has been registered, once you may pass all these steps and your application has been accepted. The government regulates the entire process, which might take a year..
Using a Mark that has already been registered is not acceptable. If someone is discovered engaging in such Practice, they will receive action to stop using that trademark.
