Trademark Registration Online (₹1,499) | Mazco Corporate Services

Why Trademark Registration is Essential

A trademark is a distinctive sign, logo, brand name, slogan, or packaging style that uniquely identifies your goods or services from competitors. Under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, registration grants exclusive nationwide legal ownership rights across India.

Registering your trademark gives you the immediate legal right to display the ™ symbol from day one, and the ® symbol upon certificate issuance. It allows you to legally stop competitors from imitating your brand, creates valuable intangible assets for investor funding, and protects your business from expensive rebranding lawsuits.

Sole legal ownership of your brand name and logo across all 28 states and union territories in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can use the ™ symbol immediately upon filing your trademark application to put the public on notice that you claim ownership. The ® symbol can only be used after the trademark registry grants the official Registration Certificate.

Filing takes 24 to 48 hours. The complete registration process typically takes 6 to 12 months, encompassing examination by the registry, publication in the Trade Marks Journal, and a 4-month public opposition period.

Companies and LLPs are normally classified as 'Others' and charged ₹9,000 per class. If the entity holds an MSME Udyam Certificate, the government treats it as small enterprise and charges the discounted fee of ₹4,500.

A prior search checks the registry database for identical or phonetically similar marks. Filing without a search leads to examination objections under Section 11, expensive legal replies, or refusal.

All goods and services are categorized into 45 international statutory classes under the Nice Classification. Classes 1 to 34 cover physical goods; Classes 35 to 45 cover services. We map the exact classes for your business.

If a third party files an opposition during the 4-month journal advertisement window, Mazco's IP attorneys prepare and file a formal Counter-Statement (Form TM-O) and represent you throughout opposition hearings.
