What is Trademark Registration?
A Trademark can be defined as a unique identity, legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product which uniquely stand out among the rest. Unique identity may be a logo, photograph, slogan, word, sound, smell, color combination, or graphics. Usually, businesses look for the trademark of logo or name only. According to the Indian laws, Trademark is an asset for the proprietor and this must be protected by Trademark Registration.
In India, you can register trademarks by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks, Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Government of India. You can register the trademark under the act named, The Trademark Act, 1999. The registration provides the right to sue against others who try to copy your trademark. Also, no one else can use a similar trademark to the one registered by another person. Once you register a trademark, you can use an R symbol along with it, and it will be valid till 10 years from the date of registration. You can easily get a ™ within 3 days. But, to get an ®, it takes up to 2 years. In case the trademark registration is nearing the expiry date, you can always get it re-registered for another ten years.
