Trademark Registration

Trademark Search, Filing & Protection

A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand name, logo or slogan for the goods or services it is registered for, and the right to act against infringement. Certsure supports businesses through the trademark search, application filing with the Trade Marks Registry, examination and renewal.

Standard status: Trademarks in India are registered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. A registration is valid for 10 years and can be renewed. Official source ↗
