Trademark registration can be obtained for words, logo, numerals, slogan, device and more in India.
Trademark registration is however a long process involving multiple steps.
Once a trademark search is completed, the application for trademark registration can be filed with the Trademark Registrar.
A trademark registration application must contain the following information:
Logo or the Trademark
Name and address of the trademark owner
Classification or Trademark Class
Trademark used since date
Description of the goods or services
Once the Trademark registration application is filed with the Trademark Registrar, a trademark application allotment number is provided within one or two working days. The trademark application can also then be tracked online through the Online Trademark Search facility. Typically, on obtaining trademark application allotment number, the owner of the trademark can affix the TM symbol next to the logo.
Once the trademark registration application is accepted by the Trademark Registrar, the proposed trademark is published in the Trademark Journal.
If the trademark registration application is opposed by a third-party, hearing will be called for by the Trademark Hearing Officer. Both the trademark applicant and the opposing party have the chance to appear at the hearing and provide justifications for registration or rejection of the trademark application.
Once there are no objections or oppositions for the trademark registration application, the trademark manuscript and trademark registration certificate will be prepared and sent to the trademark application. Once the trademark registration certificate is issued, the trademark is considered to be a registered trademark of the owner, granting the trademark owner exclusive use of the mark. The ® symbol can now be placed next to the logo or trademark.
You may have to look for the services of the trademark agents/consultants in this regard who will be able to complete this task ion their terms.
