What this is

Trademark Registration questions
How long does it really take?+
The TM symbol applies immediately, but full registration commonly takes a year or more depending on objections.
What if my application is objected?+
Objections are common and often resolved with a well drafted reply. We handle the response.
Should I register the name or the logo?+
A word mark protects the name in any styling, which is usually the stronger first filing.
Is registration valid nationwide?+
Yes, an Indian registration covers the whole country and is valid for ten years, then renewable.
