HOW TO REGISTER TRADEMARK IN INDIA

Trademark registration has become very important nowadays. The steps for registration are as follows:

STEP 1: Trademark Search:

Before filing a trademark, one must do a trademark public search on the https://ipindiaservices.gov.in/tmrpublicsearch/frmmain.aspx website. A trademark search will help one to see whether there are any similar marks. If there are no similar marks, then they can go for filing.

STEP 2: Trademark Filing:

The next step is trademark filing; after the trademark search, if there are no similar marks, they can go for trademark filing through e-filing in the trademark registry.

STEP 3: Examination:

After trademark filing, it will go for examination, which will take 12-18 months. During the examination period, either it will be accepted or objected to by the registry. If the mark is objected to, then a reply will be filed within one month of the objection.

STEP 4: Publication:

The next step is publication; after the mark is accepted, it will go for publication in the trademark journal. Then after publication, within four months, any third party can oppose the advertised mark. After the opposition by the opponents, the applicant will produce a counter statement within two months of the Notice of Opposition.

STEP 5: Registration:

The next important step is registration; the trademark registry will issue the certificate with the official seal.

STEP 6: Renewal:

A trademark must be renewed after ten years from the date of application.
