Trademark Registration Certificate in India


Trademark Certificate : 
On the 28th of July, 2016, The Ministry of Commerce and Industries has announced that the process relating to the generation and issuance of registration certificates of trademarks has been fully automated.

Automatic generation of trademark certificates is for the trademark applications:
1.)which have been published in the Trade Marks Journal Number 1720 dated 23.11.2015 and thereafter,

2.)where no request for amendment filed on behalf of the applicant is pending for disposal

3.)where the copy of the original application for registration is available in the Trade Marks Registry’s electronic database,

4.)where no requirement (like fee, Power of Attorney, etc.) is pending for compliance on the part of the applicant, and

 5.)which has not been specifically prohibited for registration by the order of any court, IPAB or any competent authority.

 Trademark Registration Certificate :
The trademark registration certificate is now available on the official website along with the trademark status of the application concerned. The trademark registration certificate made available on the website may be downloaded and printed by the applicant. However, you must understand the importance of a certificate of trade registration certificate for legal protection.

Process: Trademark Registration in India : 

Investing your time and money to build a particular brand and seeing the same brand name being used by another, robbing you of your hard-earned brand reputation is not an agreeable state of affairs. 

Step 1: TRADEMARK SEARCH : 
Many entrepreneurs do not comprehend the importance of a trademark search. Having a unique brand name in mind is not a good enough reason to avoid a trademark search. 

Step 2: Filing Trademark Application in India: 
After you are sure that your chosen brand name or logo is not listed in the Trademark Registry India, you can opt for registering the same. The first step is to file a trademark application form at the Trademark Office, India.

Step 3: TM Examination :
After a trademark application is filed, it is examined by the examiner for any discrepancies. The examination might take around 12-18 months. The examiner might accept the trademark absolutely, conditionally or object.

Step 4: TM Publication : 
The step of publication is incorporated in the trademark registration procedure so that anyone who objects to the registering of the trademark has the opportunity to oppose the same. If, after 3-4 months from publication there is no opposition, the trademark proceeds for registration. In case there is opposition; there is a fair hearing and decisions are given by the Registrar.
Step 5: Registration Certificate : 
Once the application proceeds for trademark registration, following publication in Trademark Journal, a registration certificate under the seal of the Trademark Office is issued.
Step 6: Trademark Renewal :
The trademark can be renewed perpetually after every 10 years. Hence, your logo or brand name registration can be protected perpetually.
