FAQs – Trademark Registration in India
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to “Trademark Registration”
Trademark Registration is the legal process of protecting your brand name, logo, or slogan under intellectual property rights. It prevents others from copying or misusing your brand and gives you exclusive ownership. It builds brand trust, helps in legal enforcement, and increases business value.
Anyone — an individual, startup, company, NGO, or LLP — engaged in business, trade, or services can apply for trademark registration to protect their brand identity.
You can file a TM application online through the official IP India website or with the help of a professional law firm like LegalMate, which offers end-to-end online trademark registration including document preparation, filing, and follow-ups.
Key documents include:
Brand Logo (optional for wordmark)
Identity Proof of the applicant
Address Proof
Incorporation certificate (for company or LLP)
Proof of use (if already in use)
After filing, you receive a TM Acknowledgment within 24 hours. If no objection or opposition arises, you may get your Trademark Registration Certificate within 6 to 12 months.
