Trademark Registration

Trademark?

A trademark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity to identify that the products or services to consumers with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.

  • Legal Protection: Trademark registration provides legal protection for your brand. It allows you to take legal action against anyone who uses your trademark without permission.

  • Brand Recognition: A registered trademark helps in establishing your brand identity in the market, making it easier for customers to recognize and trust your products or services.
  • Business Asset: A trademark is an intangible asset that can be bought, sold, or licensed. It adds value to your business.

Here's an overview of the key types of trademarks one can register

Product Trademarks

These are used to distinguish goods or products from one entity to another. They can be a combination of words, symbols, designs, or logos. Examples include the emblem of a renowned tech company or the distinct checkmark of a famous sportswear brand.

Service Trademarks

Similar to product trademarks, but specifically for services. Ideal for sectors like IT consultancy, hospitality, or entertainment. Examples include the iconic golden arches of a global fast-food chain or the distinct symbol of a popular streaming service.

Collective Trademarks

These are utilized by organizations or collectives to indicate goods or services offered by members of the group. They are indicative of a collective standard or reputation. Examples include symbols used by fair trade organizations or quality assurance marks used in the wool industry.

Certification Trademarks

Granted by certifying authorities to signify that products or services meet certain standards. They instill consumer confidence and support industry-wide fair practices. Examples include standardization marks used by national standards bodies or marks used by agricultural product quality assurance organizations.

Shape Trademarks

These protect the unique three-dimensional configuration of products or their packaging. Relevant for brands that have products with a unique shape or design. Examples include the distinctive shape of a famous beverage bottle or the unique packaging of a well-known chocolate brand.

Timeline for Trademark Registration in India

Registering a trademark in India is a multi-step process, each with its timeline. Below is a general overview of the time frames associated with each stage. However, please keep in mind that this is a typical timeline, and the actual time taken may differ based on the specifics of your application and any possible objections or complications that may arise.

Filing of Trademark Application

The trademark registration process begins with filing an online application in Form TM-M with the Registrar of Trademarks. We will file your trademark application within 24 hours upon receipt of the necessary documents.

Examination of Trademark & Reply Filing

Trademark applications undergo a review process, also known as “Examination” that usually lasts 1-3 months. If there are any objections, the applicant will be notified through an Examination Report and must respond within 30 days.

Show Cause Hearing & Publication

If the examiner is not satisfied with the written reply to the examination report, then the examiner will fix a show cause hearing. After the satisfaction of the examiner, the trademark is published in TM Journal, which remains open for public opposition for 3 months.

Registration of The Trademark

After a waiting period of three months from the publication, and in the absence of opposition from the public, the Registrar of Trademarks issues a Certificate of Trademark Registration which remains valid for a period of ten years.
