About Trademark Legal Certificate
A Legal Proceedings Certificate (LPC) is an official copy of the trademark register entry, certified by the Registry. It shows the owner, status, class, goods or services and any recorded changes.
LPCs are needed when you enforce your trademark in court, record it with customs, file abroad, or prove ownership in a transaction. NewStarts files the request on IP India and follows up until the certificate is issued.
What is Trademark Legal Certificate?
