Trademark Registration

Trademark Act, 1999 entitles you to register a trademark in India and registered under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. It gives an exclusive ownership right and restricts others from its usage and benefitting the owner with a financial and economic gain to the business in the long-term.
Application for Trademark registration can be made online, and the applicant can use “TM” symbol over the trademark as soon as the application is made. However, the Trademark registration process takes up to 15-18 months. It includes various stages for validating original ownership of the mark.

Why is Trademark Registration important in India?

The ownership of the trademark flows with the product’s public recognition. A registered trademark owner has a right to create, establish and protect the goodwill of his products or services. The owner can stop others from using the trademark illegally. One can also sue the infringer for dilution of the brand name and claim damages for any breach.

Trademark will enable differentiation of your product or service against the product of your competitors. Registering a trademark creates a face value of the company via goods and services. It helps to identify and facilitate brand creation & promotion. Consumers uniquely identify products carrying different trademark, thus trademark creates a customer base for your product.

A registered trademark gives its owner a legal right in case of infringement. Not registering a trademark may leave the owner of the original brand name without any remedy. Trademark registration also gives an exclusive right to the use of the trademark concerning the “Class” of goods or service it represents. Once you have filed the trademark application, the Symbol “TM” can be used with your products. 

Trademarks are intellectual property and recognized as an intangible asset for a business enterprise. Trademark carry a value associated with the products they represent. A registered trademark can be sold, assigned, commercially contracted or franchised to bring benefits to the company or the owner of the mark. You can recognize the value associated with trademarks in the books of accounts, and recognize income from the same.

Types of Trademark

Word marks mean a Standard Character drawing, letters and words must be depicted in Latin characters and numbers must be drawn in Roman or Arabic numerals, there can be no stylization claimed in the mark, and no underlining is permitted. For example, if you make changes to your mark occasionally, but continue to use a particular word, then same word mark registration would likely apply to the new mark as well.

Device Mark is a Combination of Words and a Logo, Pictures or Drawings. In simple words, the specific mode or design of a name is called Device mark. A device mark includes any label, sticker, monogram, logo or any geometrical figure other than wordmark. Device mark is the most common form of trademark. The best example of device mark is Bata (bold, italic, red and cursive) and Glucon – D (bold, italic and pink )

A logo is a design or symbol which represents a brand or organization. Customers will be capable of identifying your brand from your logo alone. The best example of the logo trademark is McDonald’s golden arches, the Nike swoosh, and the Apple missing bite apple. Much like trademarking your business or organization’s name and slogan, trademarking a logo is imperative in protecting your intellectual property.

A combination of colour on a particular mark is recognized as a trademark if it is established that the colour is uniquely identifying the mark. Colour trademark is slightly more difficult to be registered since there is a need to submit substantial proof of acquired distinctiveness. There should also be colour claim naming the colours featured in the trademark, and where the said colours appear in the overall design of the mark.

Shape mark, or three-dimensional marks include shapes and packaging as long as it is capable of being represented graphically and can distinguish the product of one person from those of another can be registrable as a trademark. It shows the three dimensional configuration or the shape or design of the product. The best example of shape mark is a Coca Cola bottle and Kinley water bottle.

Sound mark is a non-conventional trademark in India, where the sound is used to deliver the trademark function of uniquely recognising the commercial origin of the products. The sound logo leads to learning effects on customers perception of a particular product. When a melody starts, the customer automatically expects the ending. The best example is like Intel, LG, Nokia, Microsoft Windows.

Trademark Registration Process

The process of trademark starts with a trademark search. Our team will help you conduct a trademark search to find marks across classes. The government trademark search tool can be used to find identical or similar trademarks under the same class. Once the search is complete, we will proceed with the trademark application filing.

Once the trademark registration application is filed with the trademark registry, a trademark application allotment number is provided along with the payment receipt. The application number used to track the status online through the trademark search facility. On receipt of allotment number, the applicant of the trademark can affix the TM symbol over the logo.

Once the application is filed, the registrar will apply the Vienna classification to the trademark based on the figurative elements of the applied mark. While the progress of codification, trademark application status usually reflects as “sent for Vienna codification”.

Once the Vienna codification is complete, the trademark registration application will be allotted to an examiner in the trademark registrar office. The trademark officer reviews the trademark application for the correctness and issue a trademark examination report. The Officer will either accept the application and allow for journal publication or object the same.

 If the trademark Officer objects the trademark application, As per trademark rules, response along-with supporting documents (if any), should be filed within one month from the date of receipt of Examination Report or the applicant may apply for a hearing. If the Officer is satisfied with the justifications, the trademark advertises in the journal for at least four months. In case the Officer is not satisfied with the justifications, the trademark applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Trademark officer before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.

During the publication period, If trademark application is opposed by a third-party, The Registrar shall serve a copy of the notice to the applicant. And as per trademark rules, the counter-statement need to file within two months from the receipt notice. After that Officer fixes a hearing, both the applicant and opposing party and allow chance to appear at the hearing and provide justifications for the Registration or rejection of trademark application. Based on the hearings and evidence presented, the hearing officer will determine if the application should be accepted or rejected. The decision of the hearing officer can also be challenged by escalating it to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.

The last stage in the Trademark registration procedure is the issuance of registration certificate. The trademark registration is valid for a period of 10 years and can be further renewed for any number of times by paying the renewal fee. The normal time taken to register a trademark ranges from 9 -24 months.

Once the trademark is registered, it is valid for lifetime and are subject to renewal after every 10 year by paying prescribed renewal fee to the Department. The renewal process is online.
