Trademark Filing is the process of applying for registration of your brand name, logo, slogan, or symbol under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Filing a trademark application gives you legal ownership rights and protects your brand from unauthorized use. Once the application is filed, you receive an Application Number (TM Number) and can start using the ™ symbol for your brand.
To apply for trademark registration in India, the following documents and details are required for smooth filing and processing.
Name, address, nationality, email ID and contact number of Individual / Company / LLP / Partnership firm.
Clear logo (JPEG format) or wordmark, description of goods/services and relevant trademark class.
PAN Card and Aadhaar / Passport of applicant. For companies: Certificate of Incorporation & Authorized Signatory ID.
Utility bill, rent agreement, or business registration document showing registered address.
Udyam Registration or DPIIT Startup Recognition Certificate for concessional government fees.
Required if the trademark application is filed through a trademark agent or legal professional.
Declaration of first use date along with supporting documents such as invoices, advertisements or website proof.
📌 After filing, the application receives an acknowledgment number. The trademark can then be used with the ™ symbol while under examination.
