Business Name Trademark 

All You Need to Know

What is a Business Name Trademark?

A business name trademark is a legal protection granted under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, which gives a business exclusive rights to use its registered name or brand identity. Registering a trademark for your business name ensures that no other person or company can use an identical or confusingly similar name for similar goods or services. It helps build brand recognition, legal ownership, and long-term brand value. Once approved, the trademarked business name can be marked with the ™ symbol, and after final registration, it can carry the ® symbol, representing full legal protection.

Who Can Apply for a Business Name Trademark?

Any individual, startup, company, LLP, or partnership firm that operates a business under a distinct name can apply for a business name trademark in India. The applicant must be the legal owner or authorized user of the business name being registered. Both existing and new businesses can apply for trademark registration, even before launching their products or services, to secure exclusive ownership rights. Foreign companies doing business in India can also apply for trademark protection under Indian law.

When Should You Trademark a Business Name?

You should apply for a business name trademark as soon as you decide on your brand name and before officially launching your business or marketing your products. Early registration prevents others from claiming your name and avoids future legal disputes or rebranding costs. If your business is already operating, it is still advisable to trademark the name immediately to protect your brand identity and avoid infringement issues. Trademarks in India are valid for 10 years from the date of registration and can be renewed indefinitely.
