The trademark registration process requires expert guidance. At National Filings, we simplify the process for you:
- Selecting the Appropriate Trademark Class: Determine the relevant trademark class for your goods or services.
- Conducting a Trademark Search: Perform a thorough search on the IP India Trademark website to ensure no similar trademarks exist.
- Completing the Trademark Application: Submit a comprehensive application either in person at the Trademark Registry or online via the IP India website. After submission, you can use the TM symbol.
- Examination and Objections: The Registrar reviews your application and may raise objections. Our experienced Trademark Attorneys can assist in addressing objections or guide you through the process of abandoning the application.
- Publication in the Trademark Journal: Approved trademarks are published, allowing a three-month period for opposition. Our team helps you respond to oppositions and defend your trademark.
- Registration Certificate: Upon successful completion and no opposition, you will receive a registration certificate, granting you the right to use the ® symbol alongside your trademark.
To complete the registration process, certain documents are required:
- Proof of Applicant: Provide documents like PAN, address proof, and Certificate of Registration/Incorporation (if applicable).
- Company/Logo/Slogan Information: Submit comprehensive details about the trademark you wish to register.
- Proof of Trademark Use: Furnish supporting documents such as invoices or registration certificates to demonstrate brand name/logo usage.
- MSME/Start-up India Certificate: If applicable, present business proof for potential government expense discounts.
- Power of Attorney: File Form TM-48, authorizing a Trademark Attorney to file the trademark on your behalf.
- Board Resolution: For private or public limited companies, include a board resolution granting permission to apply for a trademark.
- Affidavit of the User: In specific cases, a user affidavit may be required to substantiate user data related to the registered trademark.
