Trademark Registration | Company Registration in India

 

Trademarks are unique identities that can be registered with the regulatory authorities in order to legally protect a product, service, or a business name from not only illegal impersonators, counterfeits, copies, etc but also from solicitation of unwarranted ownership that is often showcased by third parties on purpose to either willingly encash or to spoil a reputation built by the actual owner of a brand.

Unique identities and expressions can be logos, photographs, slogans, words, color combinations, graphics, etc.

SSI recommends that if you have a unique product name, brand, or logo then the only legal recourse to protect your exclusive ownership rights is to register it as a trademark.

A registered trademark becomes the intellectual property of your business and its registration certificate acts as a protective cover.

In India, trademarks are registered and regulated by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks, Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Government of India. You can register your trademark under the provisions of The Trademark Act, 1999.

A registration certificate once obtained is valid till 10 years from the date of registration and provides the owner a right to sue the entities who try and copy a registered trademark.

A ™ can be obtained within 3 days. However, to get a ® symbol, it may take up to 2 years from the date of application.

In case a Trademark registration is nearing its expiry date, the owner can apply for the renewal for an incremental period of 10 years by submitting an application with requisite forms.
