About Trademark Registration
A trademark is how customers recognise your business. Registering it gives you the exclusive right to use it for your goods or services across India and to stop others from using a confusingly similar mark.
NewStarts runs a search to spot conflicts, selects the correct classes, drafts the specification and files Form TM-A on IP India. You can use the ™ symbol from the day of filing, and we track the application through examination, publication and registration.
What is Trademark Registration?
Trademark registration is the registration of a word, logo, slogan, shape, sound or combination under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, giving the owner exclusive rights to use it for the registered goods or services and to take legal action against infringement.
