Know what to protect
What all can be protected?
Trademark protection may extend to different signs that distinguish the goods or services of one business from another. The registrability of each mark depends on the facts and applicable law.

Identify the elements that make your business recognisable and consider how best to protect them.
- Brand name or word mark
- Logo, symbol or device mark
- Labels and product packaging
- Distinctive shape of goods or their packaging, where eligible
- Slogans, taglines and brand phrases, where eligible
- Distinctive sounds or audio marks, where eligible
- Other distinctive signs that may qualify under trademark law
The process
Clear steps. Informed decisions.
A typical Indian trademark application may move through the following stages. Timelines and outcomes depend on the application and any objections or opposition.
01
Search and assess
Review existing marks and consider potential conflicts before filing.
02
Choose the right class
Identify the relevant goods or services and establish the filing details and use position.
03
Prepare and file
Submit the application with the required particulars and applicable government fee.
04
Examination
The Registry examines the application. If an examination report issues, a response may be required within the prescribed period.
05
Journal publication
If accepted for advertisement, the mark is published so third parties may oppose within the statutory period.
06
Opposition or registration
If opposed, proceedings may follow. If the application proceeds without unresolved barriers, registration may be granted.
Government fees, deadlines and procedural requirements can change. The appropriate filing route and current requirements should be confirmed for each matter. Filing does not guarantee registration.

FAQs
Questions worth asking early.
When should I consider filing a trademark?
Ideally, assess the name and logo before investing heavily in packaging, marketing or launch activity. A search can help identify possible conflicts, but it cannot guarantee registration.
What can I register?
Depending on distinctiveness and other legal requirements, a trademark may protect a word, logo, label, slogan, sound or certain shapes and other signs capable of distinguishing your goods or services.
How long does registration take?
There is no single timeline. Processing depends on Registry examination, any objections, publication, opposition and other case-specific factors.
Does filing mean my trademark is registered?
No. Filing begins the process. The application must pass the applicable requirements, and third-party opposition or other issues may affect the outcome.
What will it cost?
Costs depend on the number of marks and classes, applicant category, government fees and the work required. A tailored estimate can be provided after the scope is understood.
