Step: 1 Conduct the Trademark search:

How to check registered trademark in India is also the most frequent question. Conducting a trademark search can help to know the existing registered trademark. Trademark search is a detailed check on the trademark logo and brand name that one had selected to ensure that it is not yet registered under anybody else’s name. The trademark can be registered once it is found to be unique from all. In case your logo or brand name is already registered by someone else, one can find ways to modify it so that the registration does not get cancelled.

 

Step: 2 Class Selection:

While applying for registration, one need to apply it under the right classification of classes. The trademark offers you the right to sell under a particular brand name. The Trademark Registry has categorized the Goods and services into 45 different classes. Every logo or brand name has to be registered under the appropriate class. For example, the Class 25 pertains to Clothing, footwear, headgear. Hence, if you are planning to launch a new Cloth or footwear brand, you will have to apply under the Class 25.

 

Step: 3 Preparing the Application:

Once a suitable class (classes) is identified, one can file the Trademark application online. One will immediately be provided with a TM number (acknowledgment receipt), generated from the registrar. The TM number is important for two reasons. One is that it helps you to track your application and two, it allows you to use the ™ symbol near your trademark with immediate effect.

 

Step: 4 Issue of Examination Report:

Now the government will verify whether the application has any objections: there may or may not be Trademark Objection, if there is :

 

No Objection: If there is no objection against the application made, then a letter of acceptance will be issued commonly known as TLA.

 

If there is an Objection:

Reasons for objections as follows:

  • If a proposed trademark is similar/identical or a copy of already registered trademark.
  • If a word use is obscene/unlawful and may hurt the sentiment of particular religion /religions.

 

Step: 5 Advertisement in Trade Marks Journal:

  • The trademark will be advertised in trademark journal once the application for registration of a trademark is accepted. It will give a third party an opportunity to oppose the published trademark.
  • The entry of a trademark will entail the date of registration, a list of goods or services for which it is registered and other particulars. The trademark registration will be 10 years and can be further renewed.
  • If no one opposes the particular trademark within four months of its publication in Trademark Journal, then a trademark registration certificate will be issued within 6 to 10 months.
  • However, if there is any opposition by the third party, the process of obtaining certificate may extend .Both parties will get the opportunity to be heard.

 

Step: 6 Trademark Registration:

Approximately, average months of nine months’ time period will be required to issue a trademark certificate after the publication of advertisement in Trademark Journal. The registered trademark is valid for a period of 10 years is renewable.
