1. Overview and Information:

A trademark is a unique brank identity which may include a recognizable and distinct word, logo, sign, design, expression, shape of goods or even a distinct sound recording. The purpose of a trademark is to distinguish the goods or services of one source from that of another. When you register your trademark, you ensure that other players in the market will not be able to use a similar or deceptively similar mark in respect of similar goods/services.

2. Filing and Prosecution:

Our team follows a well-structured process for filing and prosecution of trademarks. The process starts by identifying the appropriate class of goods/services corresponding to the business of the clients and conduct a due diligence search in that class(es) to ascertain that no other players are using similar trademarks which can cause encumbrances later. After applying for the trademark, our team is efficient in clearing any official objections by written submissions and hearings in all the trademark registries (Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Ahmedabad).

3. Oppositions and Rectifications:

Acceptance by the Trademark Registry is not the end of the registration process. A trademark when accepted by the registry gets published in the Trade Marks Journal and any third party may bring in an opposition action against the registration of the mark. Our attorneys are adept in handling such third party actions be it when you are the applicant or when you are the opponent opposing the registration of a particular trademark.

Similarly, we also help our clients with post-registration rectification matters.

4. Trademark Watch:

This is a value-added service that we provide at the instance of our clients.
