Overview
Overview of Trademark Registration
This ipr page is written for teams comparing options, preparing documents, or cleaning up pending work.
Trademark registration protects your brand identity including names, logos, slogans, and symbols from unauthorized use. A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights to use the mark and legal recourse against infringement.
The registration process is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks. A trademark search at the IP India website is recommended before filing to check for conflicting marks.
The application can be filed online through the IP India portal in Form TM-A. After filing, the trademark undergoes examination, publication in the Trademark Journal, and if unopposed, proceeds to registration within 12-18 months.
A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application and can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods. Timely renewal is crucial as a lapsed trademark can be adopted by others.

Document readiness and signature availability
Government portal load, authority review, or inspection dependency
Correction, resubmission, objection, or notice response requirements
Linked registrations, board approvals, professional certificates, or challan payments
