Applying for Trademark Registration in India

 

 

  • Trademark Search: The first step that any person would have to take when deciding on which trademark would like to employ would be to ensure that this trademark is as distinguishable as it is accessible. This means, a search through the register to determine whether the grant of protection for an identical or a similar mark for similar goods or services has been made or is being used. Search can be done either by using the search engine on your internet or engaging services of an attorney specializing in trademarks.  If you are also thinking at Conversion of a Public Company into a Private Company then you have to make sure that your new company and the name as a Brand Name in India and your trademark should not violate the provisions of any law in future.

The cost of trademark registration in India depends on two primary factors:

 

1. Type of Applicant:

  • Individuals, Startups, and MSMEs: Government fee is four thousand five hundred for each class.

  • Companies: The government fee is Rs. 9,000 per class.

 

2. Number of Classes:

  • The ability to register a trademark for multiple classes of goods or services is crucial for businesses offering diverse products or services under the same brand. However, it's important to note that the cost increases proportionally with each additional class.

  • Such means that the cost increases with the increasing number of classes in a manner that can be described as proportional.

 

Example:

 

  • Registering a trademark for one class as an individual would cost Rs. 4,500.

  • Registering a trademark for two classes as a company would cost Rs. 18,000 (Rs. 9,000 per class).
