In the bustling market of India, your brand’s identity is its essence. Securing it with a trademark protects it from misuse and establishes legal ownership. The trademark registration process begins with a trademark search to ensure your brand’s uniqueness.
The application, filed with the Trademark Registry, requires details about your brand and the products or services it represents. Once submitted, the application undergoes an examination for any conflicts or objections. If objections arise, they must be addressed promptly.
Upon clearing, the trademark is published in the Trademark Journal, inviting public objections. Absence of objections within four months leads to the registration certificate issuance. A registered trademark offers a ten-year protection, post which it can be renewed indefinitely.
The process demands attention to detail and an understanding of legal nuances, crucial for every business owner in India to protect their brand effectively.
