Trademark Registration
Trademark Registration: Trademark is any unique expression related to a product or service that distinguishes it from others. This expression could be a word, slogan, photograph, logo, graphic, colour combination, sound, or even fragrance (not in India); nevertheless, most companies are only interested in registering their brand name or logo. Trademark owners have exclusive rights to use their marks in the categories in which they are registered (there are a total of 45 categories, called classes). According to some laws, Trademark is considered a form of property.
Owners of trademarks can easily establish their title to the trademark in court and earn royalties if they register it. It also deters piracy and prohibits other businesses from registering similar company names. You can do a trademark search to see if your brand name is similar to one that already exists. You can get a TM in India in three days, but it can take up to two years to get it registered so you can use the ® sign.
