What is Trademark Registration?
Trademark Registration in India is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999. It provides legal protection to your brand name, logo, slogan, or any other distinctive sign that identifies your goods or services. Registration gives you exclusive rights to use the mark and prevents others from using similar marks.

Trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date. It can be renewed indefinitely for subsequent periods of 10 years each.
The complete registration process typically takes 18-24 months. However, you can start using the ™ symbol immediately after filing the application.
The ™ symbol can be used as soon as you file the application, while the ® symbol can only be used after the trademark is registered. Using ® before registration is illegal.
