TRADEMARK REGISTRATION

What is Trademark?

A Trademark is an illustrative identity of an organization that distinguishes the goods or services delivered by an organization from its competitors and sureties the ownership. An organization can use any name, symbol, logo, graphics, word or photograph as a unique visual symbol. With the help of a Trademark, an organization can build brand value in the market and generate trust among buyers. After the creation of the Trademark, it is necessary to get it registered under the Trademark Act, 1999. The Trademarks are recorded by Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.

As per Indian laws, a trademark is a protectable asset and an organization can restrict the utilization of a particular trademark by registering it under the Trademark Act 1999. The Act forbids an individual or an organization from using offensive Trademarks or an existing Trademark to eradicate piracy.The Act further incorporates the trademark under 45 industrial categories named as ‘Class’.

Why Trademark Registration is important?

A trademark is a tool that helps a brand differentiate itself from its competitors. A catchy and elegant trademark helps a brand connect with the audience and stay in their minds for a long time. Here are some reasons why a trademark is essential.

Legal Protection

A registered trademark gives you ownership, validity, and statutory protection. It will deter any business from using your logo or slogan unethically. When any competitor copies your trademark, you can take legal action against them. You have the option to sue them in court. It will be possible when you have a logo, slogan, or brand name already registered

Establishing Trust

When you sell any product or service under a registered trademark, your customers are more likely to trust you. It will also help you establish a brand image and reliability in the minds of your customers. You would naturally be inclined to deliver better quality of products each time. It will all show in your revenue and profits. If you sell products at common marketplaces, it will also help you make you stand out from the competition.

Global Exposure

You can also get global exposure for your trademark. If you have registered a trademark in India, you can also do it in a foreign country. There is also a provision for foreign companies to register their trademark in India. It will ultimately help you ensure that no foreign company copies your trademark and infringes your rights.

Unique Identity

Popular brands like Facebook, Apple, and Tesla have remarkable trademarks that people can identify quickly. It also becomes easier for consumers to identify the products or services of a particular brand. Your competitors will not be able to use the registered trademark as it will be your unique identity. So, any business needs to have a trademark that people can easily connect with and remember.

Business Asset

Your trademark can become your most valuable business asset with time. Trademarks also help consumers differentiate between the brands. The goodwill of a business also remains protected. No new business can cash into the popularity of an existing business by using its trademark.

How Adhoc Legal can help you with a Trademark Registration?

We are a leading legal service provider that will help you meet all your compliance and regulation requirements. Whether you have an individual proprietorship, start-up, or established corporation, we have got you covered. Here is a detailed overview of our services.

Trademark Search

We use the trademark director to help you in your search for finding the most suitable trademark. If you have already chosen a brand name or trademark logo, we will help you verify it. We will search all the online sources to ensure it is not registered in anyone else’s name yet.

When we identify that your brand name and logo are unique, we will proceed with the registration process. If your logo or brand name got already registered by someone, we will suggest modifications. The modifications will ensure that your trademark registration process does not get cancelled.

Class Selection

One of the essential aspects of the trademark registration process is that the application needs to be under a suitable classification. We will help you identify what would be the best classification for your business. Trademarks give you the right to sell your products and services under your brand name in specific sectors of economies.

There are close to 45 sectors, and each of them gets classified as a class. The Trademark Registry classifies different goods and services into these 45 classes. So, brand names and logos must get registered into their relevant class.

The Trademark Class 31 is about grains and agricultural, forestry, and horticultural products that are not part of other classes. So if you have a similar business, you will have to register here.

Filling the Application

Once we make sure that you have a unique logo and brand name, we will proceed towards the registration. The first step would be to create an authorization letter. Making this will ensure that we can register your trademark on your behalf. All you need to do is sign the copy and send it back to us.

The next step will be to fill the form, and we will take care of that. We will keep you updated with all the proceedings as things move further. We will notify you when the trademark gets registered successfully. You can then begin using it for your business

Online Trademark Registration Process

TRADEMARK FILING

Once you have completed the initial trademark search, you can file an online trademark registration with the Trademark Registrar. Just ensure that your application is supplemented with the following information in the prescribed form.
1.) Logo or the Trademark
2.) Name and address of the trademark owner
3.) Classification or Trademark Class
4.) Trademark used since date
5.) Description of the goods or services

FILING A PROVISIONAL APPLICATION

After you have filed the application, you will receive a trademark application allotment number. With the help of this number, you can easily track your application progress online. The application allotment number also permits you to affix the TM symbol to your logo.

VIENNA CODIFICATION

This is an important step in obtaining a trademark registration. During this process, the registrar will apply the Vienna classification to the trademark based on the figurative elements of marks.

TRADEMARK EXAMINATION

Once the registrar finishes the Vienna codification, he assigns a trademark officer to the application. The job of the trademark officer is to review the trademark application for correctness and issue a trademark examination report. He also handles the objections, if any. In case there is an objection and the applicant is not satisfied, the trademark applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Trademark Officer before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.

TRADEMARK JOURNAL PUBLICATION

Once all the formalities are completed, the proposed trademark is published in the Trademark Journal. The Trademark Journal is a weekly publication and includes all the trademarks accepted by the Trademark Registrar. It is open to public for raising any objection. There is a 90 days window for raising objection, if there is no objection then the trademark is registered within 12 weeks.

ONLINE TRADEMARK REGISTRATION AND RENEWAL

Once the trademark applicant receives the trademark certificate, they can display the ® symbol next to the logo or trademark. Your Indian trademark registration will last for 10 years as long as you continuously use your trademark. After 10 years, you can renew your trademark registration by paying a renewal fee, failing which your trademark will be expunged from the Register.
