What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a unique identity used to distinguish your products or services—such as a brand name, logo, tagline, sound, or packaging. Trademark registration legally protects this identity and gives you the right to exclusively use it.

Why Trademark is Important

  • Protects your brand from imitation
  • Helps build long-term brand value
  • Prevents forced rebranding due to disputes
  • Provides nationwide exclusive rights
  • Strengthens customer trust and recognition

Types of Trademarks

  • Wordmark – Brand name in text
  • Logo Mark – Graphic symbol or icon
  • Device Mark – Combination of elements
  • Label/Packaging – Full label design
  • Sound Mark – Distinct sound or tune
  • Colour Mark – Unique colour combinations
  • Shape/3D Mark – Product shape or packaging

Brand Name Search Process

The process of brand name search is as follows:

Brand Name Search: Existing Registered Trademarks
We check the official IP India database for identical or similar marks. This reduces chances of refusal and legal conflict.

Phonetic Similarity: We ensure the proposed name does not sound similar to existing marks, avoiding phonetic objections.

Marketplace Usage: Even unregistered brands can raise disputes. We check active business usage to avoid such conflicts.

Domain & Social Media Availability: We check if the brand name is available as a domain and on social media platforms to ensure consistent online presence.
