## Why Register a Trademark?

Your brand is an asset. Once registered, no one in India can legally use your name or logo.

01

### Exclusive Rights

Registered trademark gives you the legal right to use ® symbol and sue infringers across all of India.

02

### Brand Protection

Prevents competitors from using similar names/logos that could confuse your customers or steal your goodwill.

03

### Business Asset

A registered trademark can be licensed, franchised, or sold. It increases the valuation of your business.

04

### Amazon / Flipkart Brand Registry

E-commerce platforms require TM registration for brand protection features and A+ content.

## Legal Framework

Trademarks in India are governed by the Trade Marks Act 1999 and administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM).

**Trade Marks Act 1999, Section 18:** Any person claiming to be the proprietor of a trade mark used or proposed to be used by him may apply for registration of that trade mark.

**Section 28:** Registration of a trade mark gives the registered proprietor the exclusive right to use the trade mark in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered.

**Govt fees (as of 2024):** ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and small enterprises (Form TM-A online). ₹9,000 per class for companies and LLPs.

## Registration Process

Filing happens immediately. Full registration takes 18–24 months (government timeline).

### Trademark Search
