Trademark Registration — FAQ

Everything founders ask before starting Trademark Registration. Answers reviewed by chartered accountants.

How long does trademark registration take in India?

The application number is generated within 3 days. Full registration typically takes 12–24 months depending on examination and any opposition.

What are the 45 trademark classes?

The Nice Classification divides goods (classes 1–34) and services (classes 35–45). For example, software falls under class 9, restaurant services under class 43, and legal services under class 45.

What is the government fee for trademark registration?

₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and MSMEs; ₹9,000 per class for all other applicants. Our Basic package price includes the discounted individual/MSME fee.

Can I trademark a logo and word mark separately?

Yes. A word mark protects the text and any font; a logo mark protects the specific design. Filing both gives strongest protection.

What if my trademark is objected to?

The examiner will cite grounds (usually similarity to existing marks or descriptiveness). Our Standard and Premium packages include drafting a response within the 30-day window.

Do I need to renew my trademark?

Yes, every 10 years. We send renewal reminders in the Premium package.
