Trademark Registration
Riz Legal Solution
Protect Your Brand Identity
Your brand is one of your most valuable assets. Trademark registration gives you exclusive rights to your business name, logo, slogan, or symbol and protects it from unauthorized use. It helps build trust, credibility, and long-term recognition in the market.
Trademarks are divided into 45 classes based on goods and services. Choosing the correct class is crucial for proper protection. Our experts help you identify the right class for your business.
Documents Required for Trademark Registration in India
- Identity/Address Proof: Aadhaar, PAN, or Voter ID.
- Business Proof: GST certificate, Incorporation certificate, or Partnership deed.
- Affidavit by the User: In case proposed mark has been in use prior to the application date.
- Power of Attorney/authority letter: Authorising an advocate/trademark agent to process application.
Pre-Filing: The Trademark Search
Before filing, it is critical to conduct a comprehensive search on the IP India Public Search database. This ensures your mark (brand name, logo, or slogan) is not identical or phonetically similar to existing registered or pending marks in the relevant Nice Classification (Classes 1–45).
Filing the Application (Form TM-A)
Once availability is confirmed, you can file Form TM-A as a Word Mark (text), Device Mark (logo), or both.
Government Fees (per class):
Individual / Startup / MSME: ₹4,500 (e-filing), ₹5,000 (physical)
Company / LLP / Others: ₹9,000 (e-filing), ₹10,000 (physical)
Note: Lower fees apply only with valid Udyam Registration or DPIIT Startup Recognition.
The Registration Timeline (2026)
Trademark registration usually takes 12–24 months if there are no major issues. During the 3–6 month examination stage, the application is reviewed for distinctiveness and conflicts, and any objections must be answered within 30 days. Once accepted, the mark is published for 4 months to allow third-party opposition. If no opposition is filed or it is resolved in your favor, the registration certificate is issued.
Validity and Symbols
™ Symbol: You can use this immediately after receiving your application number.
® Symbol: You can only use this once the registration certificate is issued.
Duration: Protection lasts for 10 years from the date of application and is renewable indefinitely every 10 years.
