Description

Trademark registration process in India includes different steps to secure legal rights. Anyone, including people, companies, and groups, can apply for trademark registration. The process includes completing a trademark search, filing the application with the Trademark Registrar, allotting of a trademark application number, Vienna Codification, trademark examination, journal release, and finally, trademark registration. Benefits of registration include uniqueness, proof of validity, infringement measures, border safety, and security for debt.

Trademarks must be unique and capable of distinguishing goods or services. Non-traditional logos like sound, shape, and color names are also registrable. The registering process is important as it works on a first-to-file system, taking up to 3 years for finishing. It includes choosing a trademark agency, finding qualifications, finishing the registration form, reviewing complaints by the trademark office, and printing in the Trademark Journal.
