Why Register a Trademark in India?
A Trademark under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 grants exclusive legal ownership and nationwide monopoly over your brand name, logo, slogan, tagline, shape of goods, or packaging. It prevents competitors and counterfeiters from using confusingly similar marks.
Upon filing the TM-A application, you can legally affix the ™ symbol immediately. Once the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) grants registration, you can display the prestigious ® symbol.
10-Year Validity
Trademark registration is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years by filing Form TM-R.
24-Hour TM Number
Get your official Government TM application number and start using the ™ mark within 24 hours of filing.
