According to Indian laws, Trade Mark means a mark capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one person from those of others and may include shape of goods, their packaging and combination of colours. A mark can include a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of goods, packaging or combination of colors or any such combinations. Like other assets, it is also a valuable asset and is categorized as intellectual property. Thus, you can use your trademark or you can sell it or give license to someone for using the mark.

A trademark not only gives the trademark owner the exclusive right to use the mark, but also allows the owner to prevent others from using a similar mark that can be confusing for the general public. A trademark cannot, however, prevent another person or company from making or selling the same goods or service under a clearly different mark. Thus, it is a wise business decision to file registration of a trademark or logo before you actually start using it.

Trademark Search

Our executives will conduct the search carefully and then inform you about the availability of mark. They may also suggest you to make some addition or modification in your trademark or logo to increase the possibility of registration of the same.

Filing of Trademark Application

We will then proceed with filing the application after taking all the details of the applicant. The filing will be done online after completing the relevant form available on the website of trademark registry. Please note that any error or omission in filing the form will lead to objection and thus delay in process. You are advised not to hire untrained people as they may land you in trouble. Once we have received all the documents, we will file the application same day and provide you the TM Application No. You can check the status and progress of your application online by using application number. 

Vienna Codification

This stage applies when the trademark comprises figurative elements/logo.  A Vienna Code is assigned if the trade mark comprises figurative elements/logo. The Vienna code is assigned based on the nature of the figurative element/logo. During this process, the trademark application status is shown as “Sent for Vienna Codification”.

Trademark Examination

After Vienna Codification, the trademark officer will check the application for its completeness, correctness and whether the mark is appropriate or not. If he thinks that everything is in order, he will approve the application and send it for publication in the trademark journal. Further, if he is of the view that the application is incomplete or the desired trademark is identical or similar to another mark, he may raise objection. In such a case, you will get 30 days to file the reply.

Trademark Published in Journal

If no objection is raised or the trademark registry is satisfied by your reply against the objection raised, the trademark will be published in the Trademark Journal. The trademark journal is published on a weekly basis. The trademark is published for a period of 90 days so as to give an opportunity to the public to raise opposition if they think that the mark should not be registered. If an opposition is raised the matter then goes into litigation which generally take quite a long time. 

Trademark Registration

In cases where no opposition is raised the trademark gets registered and the certificate of registration is issued to the applicant. If an opposition is raised, the trademark will not be registered until the disposal of the matter.
