Important Points to Note
- The Trade Marks Act, 1999 lets the owner of a trademark stop others from using a similar name for the same or related business.

- You can use the TM symbol as soon as your application is filed.
- Registration protects the goodwill you build in your brand and makes it an asset you can license or sell.

Trademark Registration Process in India
Trademarks in India are registered by the Trade Marks Registry, under the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks. After filing, every application goes through the stages below. For a detailed walkthrough, read our step-by-step trademark registration process guide.
Stages After Filing
Your application gets a number on filing, and the Registry checks that the formalities and documents are in order.
An examiner checks the mark against existing marks (Section 11) and for distinctiveness (Section 9), then accepts it or issues an examination report with objections.
If there is an objection, we file a written reply within 30 days of the examination report. If the examiner is not satisfied, a hearing is held.
Once accepted, the mark is published (advertised) in the Trade Marks Journal so the public can see it.
For four months after advertisement, anyone who believes the mark conflicts with theirs can file an opposition. Oppositions are less common than objections.
If no opposition is filed, or it is decided in your favour, the mark is registered and the registration certificate is issued. You can now use the ® symbol.

Trademark Registration Fees in India
The cost of registering a trademark has two parts: the government fee paid to the Trade Marks Registry, and the professional fee for the search, drafting and filing. Government fees are per class.
| Applicant | Government fee (online filing, per class) |
|---|---|
| Individual, startup or small enterprise (with Udyam registration) | ₹4,500 |
| All other applicants (companies, LLPs, firms not registered as small enterprises) | ₹9,000 |
We offer three all-inclusive packages per application. Choose based on how much support you want if the examiner raises an objection:
| Package | What it covers | Individual, startup or small enterprise | Other applicants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | Search report, class identification, documents, government fee, online filing and monthly tracking | ₹6,400 | ₹10,900 |
| Platinum | Everything in Gold, plus the objection reply | ₹9,100 | ₹13,600 |
| Platinum Plus | Everything in Platinum, plus attending the objection hearing | ₹12,700 | ₹17,200 |
With the Gold package, an objection reply is ₹4,000 extra and hearing attendance is ₹4,000, payable only if needed. Each package covers one class; if your brand needs more classes, each extra class is filed as a separate application.
For a detailed breakdown, see our guide to trademark registration cost in India.
How Long Does Trademark Registration Take?
Filing is fast; registration takes longer because of the Registry's examination and the public opposition period. A typical timeline:
| Stage | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Search report and documents | Same day to a few days, depending on how quickly documents are signed |
| Filing and application number | Within 24 hours of receiving documents and payment |
| Examination report | Usually a few months after filing |
| Objection reply (if any) | Within 30 days of the examination report |
| Opposition period after advertisement | 4 months |
| Registration certificate | About 12 to 18 months from filing, if there is no objection or opposition |
You can use the TM symbol from the day you file, so you do not have to wait for registration to start building your brand.

TM vs ® Symbol: When to Use Each
| ™ (TM) | ® (Registered) | |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | You claim the mark as your trademark | The mark is registered with the Trade Marks Registry |
| When you can use it | From the day you file your application | Only after registration |
| Rule | No registration needed | Using ® on an unregistered mark is an offence under the Trade Marks Act |
Objections, Oppositions and Renewal
Objection: raised by the Registry's examiner, usually because the mark is similar to an existing one (Section 11) or describes the product (Section 9). A reply is due within 30 days. The reply is included in our Platinum and Platinum Plus packages, or ₹4,000 with Gold. See our trademark objection reply service. Learn how Section 9 objections are overcome.
Opposition: filed by a third party within four months of your mark being advertised in the Trade Marks Journal. See the difference between objection and opposition.
Renewal: a registration lasts 10 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely, from up to a year before expiry (see our trademark renewal service). A lapsed mark can be restored within a year of expiry.
