Trademark registration is the legal process of securing exclusive rights over a brand name, logo, slogan, symbol, or any distinctive mark that identifies the goods or services of a business. It is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and provides statutory protection against unauthorised use, imitation, or infringement. A registered trademark helps businesses build brand identity, gain consumer trust, and create a valuable intellectual property asset.
The registration process involves conducting a trademark search, filing an application in the appropriate class, examination by the Trademark Registry, publication in the Trademark Journal, and finally registration if no opposition is filed. Once registered, the trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. The owner gets the exclusive right to use the ® symbol and can take legal action against infringers, ensuring brand protection in the market. For more information, click the link below:
