Trade Mark Registration

Overview

Trademark Registration

We help you grow! Brand registration restricts unauthorised use of the company name and logos, and any special slogans linked with the company. It helps the firms in the trademark application as well as in the trademark submission and finally its registration.

Key Benefits:

Provides legal protection for the brand's identity, including the company name, logo and slogans.
It also improves brand awareness and helps create a bond between the company and consumers.
Secures exclusive rights over the brand name and visual identity, preventing unauthorized use by others which can potentially confuse consumers and harm the brand's reputation.
Provides legal recourse against infringement and counterfeiting, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the brand.
A registered trademark increases brand credibility & supports marketing and promotional efforts, reinforcing the company's presence in the market.
Trademarks can become significant intangible assets that increase in value over time and can be licensed or sold.

Registration Process:

We conduct a thorough search of the existing trademark database to ensure that there are no existing trademarks that could conflict with yours, minimizing the risk of objections and challenges.
Our experts prepare and file the detailed trademark application, ensuring that all the necessary information and specifications are meticulously documented.
We handle all communications with the Trademark Office, responding to any queries and managing the correspondence required to advance the registration process.
After submission, we continuously monitor the status of the application and keep you updated on its progress. We also deal with any opposition or objections that may arise during the public announcement period.

Validity and Renewal

Last reviewed — August 2026

Section 25, Trade Marks Act 1999 Ten-Year Term, Renewable Indefinitely

A registration runs for ten years from the date of application and may be renewed for successive ten-year periods without limit. Renewal is filed on Form TM-R, and the application may be made up to a year before expiry to avoid any break in protection.

If a renewal is missed Grace Period and Restoration

A late renewal is permitted within six months of expiry on payment of a surcharge. Beyond that, restoration may be sought between six and twelve months from expiry. Once a mark is removed from the register, it becomes available for others to claim.

Using the marks ™ and ® Symbols

The ™ symbol may be used from the date the application is filed, while the ® symbol may only be used once the Registry has issued the registration certificate. Applications are advertised in the Trade Marks Journal, opening a window during which third parties may file opposition.
