Trademark Registration Procedure in India
The trademark registry is responsible for trademark registration. Here are a few procedures for registering a brand name.
- Step 1: Conduct an online search for a sufficiently unique brand name
This is the easiest and most successful way for a novice to create a memorable, contemporary, and intriguing business name. As the majority of generic names are already taken, it is advisable to select a unique and distinctive brand name.
- Step 2: Prepare a trademark application
The following documents must accompany the online trademark registration application:
- Business Registration Documentation: Depending on the type of business registered (sole proprietorship, etc.), a proof of identification and address must be provided for the company's directors. In the case of a sole proprietorship, the owner's identifying documents, such as a PAN card or Aadhar card, may be required. In the case of a firm, however, verification of the company's address must be provided.
- A digital version of the trademark.
- The proposed mark's proof of claim (if applicable) may be used in a foreign country.
- The applicant must sign an authorization form.
- Step 3: Submit an application for trademark registration
Manual registration and electronic registration are the two techniques of registration.
If you select “manual filing”, you must bring and submit your application for registration in person to the Registrar Office of Trade Marks in India's major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. After that, you must wait at least 15 to 20 days for a confirmation of receipt. With an electronic filing system, however, you will receive an immediate receipt of acknowledgment on the government's website. You may begin using the Trademark (TM) sign alongside your brand name after you have received your acceptance!
