Summary
Mahtta & Co. assists businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations in Japan seeking professional support for trademark registration in India. Our trademark lawyers in India and trademark attorneys in India can assist with trademark searches, classification, application preparation, filing, examination responses, opposition matters, and renewal requirements.
The process of trademark registration in India generally begins with checking the availability of the proposed mark and identifying the appropriate Nice Classification for the relevant goods or services. The application is then prepared with the required information and documents and filed online using Form TM-A. The application may undergo examination, and the applicant may need to respond to objections or attend a hearing if required. If accepted, the mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal, allowing third parties to oppose the application within the applicable period before registration.
Foreign applicants can apply for trademark registration in India directly or through a registered trademark agent or attorney. Indian trademarks are registered for specific goods or services under the Nice Classification, with Classes 1–34 covering goods and Classes 35–45 covering services. A registered trademark is generally valid for 10 years and can be renewed for successive 10-year periods.
