A registered trademark is a valuable business asset — you can sell it or license it.

One registration protects you across all of India.

Legal Reference: Trade Marks Act, 1999, Section 18 (Application for registration), Section 29 (Infringement of registered trade marks). Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) under Ministry of Commerce.
