Overview
A trademark is a unique symbol, word, phrase, design or combination of these elements that helps customers identify your brand or business. It sets your products or services apart from competitors and builds trust among consumers. In India, trademarks are registered under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and provide legal protection to brand names, logos, slogans and more. Once registered, the trademark owner has exclusive rights to use the mark for their goods or services.
Registering a trademark is a crucial step for businesses that want to protect their brand identity. Without registration, others may copy or misuse your brand name or logo, which can damage your reputation and lead to legal disputes. A registered trademark also becomes a valuable business asset that can be sold, licensed or franchised, giving your business more opportunities to grow.
The process of trademark registration in India involves filing an application with the Intellectual Property India (Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks) and undergoing various stages like examination, publication and registration. It usually takes 6 to 18 months for a trademark to be fully registered, although you can start using the ™ symbol as soon as the application is filed. Once registered, you can use the ® symbol with your brand name.
