Protect the name before someone else files it first.
Trademark, patent and copyright filings share one thing in common — the earlier you file, the stronger your claim. We handle the class search, application drafting, objection defense and ongoing prosecution so your brand and inventions stay legally yours.
Why India, Specifically
Trademark rights in India are territorial — a registration you hold in the US, EU or elsewhere gives you no automatic protection here. If you’re entering the Indian market, filing locally is a separate, necessary step, not a formality layered on top of an existing mark.
India Runs “First-to-File”
Unlike some jurisdictions, prior use isn’t enough on its own to secure priority — whoever files first, and successfully defends the application, generally wins the mark. That makes early filing a genuine competitive move, not just paperwork.
Realistic Timelines
An uncontested trademark can register in roughly 12–18 months; one that draws an objection or opposition often takes longer. Patents typically run several years given examination queues. Copyright registration is comparatively fast, usually a few months.
Trademark, patent and copyright protect different things
Most brands eventually need more than one — here’s what each actually covers.
Trademark
Protects names, logos, taglines and other brand identifiers that distinguish your goods or services from competitors’ in the marketplace.
Patent
Protects a novel invention — a new product design, mechanism or process — giving you the exclusive right to make, use or sell it.
Copyright
Protects original creative and technical works — software code, packaging artwork, manuals, written content — automatically on creation.

Normal Registration Trademark
Standard trademark application filing — from a comprehensive class and prior-mark search, through choosing the right NICE classification, to drafting and submitting the application with the Trade Marks Registry.
Objection Reply & Hearing Trademark
Response drafting when the Registrar raises an examination objection, plus representation at show-cause hearings — the stage where most applications either move forward to publication or stall indefinitely without the right defense.
Patent IP India
Filing and prosecution support for product, mechanism or process inventions — provisional filing to secure an early priority date, followed by the complete specification, examination request and response to office actions.
Copyright IP India
Registration for original creative and technical works — software, packaging design, manuals and marketing content — that gives you documented, dated evidence of ownership if the work is ever disputed or copied.
From class search to registered mark, in five stages
Search & Class Selection
We check for conflicting prior marks and identify the correct NICE classification for your goods/services.
Application Filing
The application is drafted and filed with the Trade Marks Registry, giving you a priority filing date.
Examination
The Registrar reviews the mark; if an objection is raised, we draft and file the formal response.
Journal Publication
The accepted mark is published, opening a period during which third parties may file opposition.
Registration & Renewal
Once unopposed or opposition is resolved, the certificate issues — we track the 10-year renewal cycle after.
What you’ll need to get started
Having these ready before we begin can move your application into filing within days rather than weeks.
