Faq - Trademark Registration


A Trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, image or a combination of these to distinguish a company’s products and services from those of others. It is also used as a marketing tool for creating awareness and recognition of products or services among customers. A trademark is the intellectual property of its holder; and ownership of a trademark flows from the business usage of the trademark.
Trademark search refers to the verification done by the Trademark Registry to check whether a similar trademark is already registered or an application is filed with the Registry. The search results indicate the possibility of getting the registration of your desired trademark. Conducting a trademark search before commercial use of your proposed trademark will help you to save the unnecessary cost of branding and avoids the chance of using a trademark that is similar to an existing trademark.
Trademark gains its importance by usage. A trademark is not required to be registered for using in the business. It is required to be registered to posses the complete ownership of the mark and protect the same from usage by another person/company. Only if the trademark is registered, the owner gets the legal rights to take action against a person/entity infringing on their trademark.
Registering a trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to use the mark for their products and/or services. If the trademark is registered, the owner can use the symbol ®. In the case of trademarks for which a registration application is filed, the symbol ™ can be used. Using these symbols for unregistered trademarks or in cases where no application for registration is filed, is an offence.
Registering a company or LLP name provides partial protection to your business name from a third party using the same or similar name for their company or LLP. Where such a situation occurs, the affected party can initiate action for seeking relief under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act or the LLP Act. There is no absolute solution under the Companies Act or the LLP Act to protect a Business Name. Similarly, registering a domain name provides protection against misuse of the name, so long as the registration is valid with registered domain extensions. In both the above cases, the exclusive usage and protection are not guaranteed. However, trademark registration provides the maximum protection for a name or brand, because the trademark holder gets the absolute ownership of such marks for use in particular class/classes of products or services, where the trademark is registered. In the event that no company and/or domain name is registered before the registration of a trademark, the trademark holder enjoys the unrestricted right of restraining any third party usage of such trademark even as a company, LLP or domain name.
Under trademark, goods and services are categorised into 45 classes. It is very important to identify the class in which the goods/services fit into and file the application under the relevant class. If a trademark is used for goods and services under different classes, separate applications are required to be filed under each class to get protection of trademark for respective goods and services.

CompaniesInn provides Trademark Search Services at separate cost and will provide you a report with our findings on the basis of similar marks registered and applications filed with the Registry.
