Trademark registration in India, in short: a clearance search, the right class(es), filing at all five trademark registries (official fee ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises), examination and reply, a 4-month opposition window, and registration (typically 8–18 months if unopposed). One application protects your mark across all of India; the registry that examines it simply follows your address.
Filing is step one of six

Trademark registration in India, handled to the register

Search first

An honest opinion before you spend

If your mark is likely to hit a Section 9 or 11 objection, we tell you before filing, not after the fee is spent. Free preliminary search with every enquiry.

Objections

Where brands are saved

Most marks meet an examination objection. Our replies and hearings are drafted by the attorney who filed your mark, not a template from a portal.

Watching

Tracked to registration, then renewed

Every India application sits on our docketing system: status, deadlines, renewals every 10 years. A mark nobody watches is a receipt, not protection.

Process and fees match our main trademark guide: ₹4,500 per class (startup/individual/small enterprise), professional fees fixed and quoted upfront.

Decided by

Your principal place of business

Not by where you sell. Without a place of business in India, the address for service in your application decides it.

Local cases

What the registry does, and does not, change

Protection

A registration covers all of India

Whichever registry examines it, a registered trademark is valid throughout India. The registry only decides who examines it and hears objections.

Foreign applicants

No Indian office? Your address for service decides

Applicants without a place of business in India file through an Indian address for service, usually their attorney’s, which fixes the registry.

No visit needed

You never have to go to the registry

Applications are filed online and show-cause hearings are now usually held by video conference. We appear for you.
