Trademark & IP
Search, register and defend your brand name and logo, and protect original work with copyright.
What it is
A trademark is a registered right to a brand name, logo or slogan for specific goods or services. Registration helps you stop others from using a confusingly similar mark. Copyright protects original creative work such as writing, software, art and music.
Who needs it
- Businesses launching a brand, product or app
- Owners who received an examination report or objection from the Trademark Registry
- Creators who want a public record of their original work
Documents usually required
- The brand name or logo exactly as it will be used
- Applicant's identity and address proof
- Business registration certificate, if filing as a company or LLP
- Date of first use, with proof, if the mark is already in use
- Udyam certificate, if claiming the reduced fee for small businesses
The process
- 01Search the Trademark Registry for similar marks
- 02Choose the right class of goods or services
- 03File the application and receive a filing receipt
- 04Examination by the Registry, with a reply if an objection is raised
- 05Publication in the Trademark Journal, then registration if no one opposes
