Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trademark registration take in India?
If unopposed, the full process takes 18–24 months. However, you receive the application number and can use ™ within 1–2 days of filing.
What is the government fee for trademark registration?
₹4,500 per class for individuals/startups/MSMEs, and ₹9,000 per class for other entities. Our professional fees are separate and transparent.
Can I register a trademark myself?
Yes, but objections and oppositions are common — and a single drafting error can cost you the mark. An advocate-led filing dramatically increases success rates.
What if someone is already using my brand name?
We can issue a cease-and-desist notice, file infringement proceedings in court, or oppose their pending application — based on who has prior rights.
Is trademark registration valid worldwide?
No. Indian registration covers India only. We also file Madrid Protocol applications for international protection in 100+ countries.
