Trademark Registration FAQs
Answers to common questions about trademark registration in India.
1. What is a trademark?
A trademark is a mark capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one person or business from those of others. It may include a name, logo, word, symbol or other legally registrable mark.
2. Why should I register my brand name?
Registration can provide statutory rights in relation to the registered mark and specified goods or services, subject to applicable law.
3. Can I register both my brand name and logo?
Yes, separate applications may be appropriate for a word mark and a logo or device mark. The best filing approach depends on your brand and protection objectives.
4. What are trademark classes?
Goods and services are classified under the Nice Classification system, which contains 45 classes. The appropriate class depends on what your business sells or provides.
5. What is a trademark search?
A trademark search checks available records for potentially identical or similar marks. A preliminary search cannot guarantee registration or rule out every possible conflict.
6. Can I use the ™ symbol before registration?
The ™ symbol is commonly used to indicate a claimed trademark. The ® symbol should be used only after registration and in accordance with applicable law.
7. How long is a registered trademark valid?
A registered trademark in India is generally valid for ten years from its registration date and can be renewed for successive ten-year periods, subject to the applicable procedure.
8. What happens if my trademark receives an objection?
An examination report may raise objections. A response and, where required, a hearing may be necessary. The outcome depends on the facts, evidence and applicable law.
9. Does filing an application guarantee trademark registration?
No. Applications are examined and may face objections, opposition or other legal issues. Registration is subject to the applicable statutory process and decision of the Trade Marks Registry.
10. What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?
A trademark protects brand identifiers used in trade, while copyright generally protects original literary, artistic, musical and other eligible creative works.
