If you run a restaurant, hotel, café, catering business, or any food and beverage service in India, Class 43 trademark registration is the single most important legal step you can take. Class 43 under the NICE Classification covers services for providing food and drink, as well as temporary accommodation. Therefore, every hospitality and food-service brand operating across India — from Delhi NCR to Chennai, from Mumbai to Guwahati — must secure this registration to gain exclusive legal rights over their brand identity.
Moreover, without a registered Class 43 trademark, any competitor can legally copy your brand name, logo, or tagline. Consequently, years of goodwill and customer trust can be destroyed overnight. SetupFiling.in, headquartered at 775, Sector 5, Vaishali, Ghaziabad, Delhi NCR 201010, has helped thousands of food and hospitality businesses across India register their trademarks quickly, affordably, and correctly. Call us today at +91 9818209246 or email help@setupfiling.in to get started.

Our Services for Class 43 Trademark Registration
At setupfiling.in, we offer a comprehensive suite of trademark and business registration services designed specifically for food, hospitality, and accommodation brands. Whether you are a cloud kitchen in Hyderabad, a boutique hotel in Jaipur, or a catering company in Pune, our experts handle everything end to end.
Class 43 Trademark Application Filing
Filing a Class 43 trademark application requires precision. The application must correctly describe the services covered — restaurants, bars, cafés, canteens, catering, hotel accommodation, and related hospitality services. An incorrect description or wrong class can lead to refusal or costly delays. Our team at SetupFiling.in ensures every application is filed accurately under online trademark registration guidelines.
Furthermore, we conduct a thorough pre-filing search to check if an identical or similar mark already exists. This step saves you from future opposition or cancellation proceedings. As a result, your Class 43 trademark application moves forward with maximum chances of approval. Contact us at +91 9818209246 to begin your Class 43 application today.
Trademark Search for Class 43 Brands
Before investing in branding, packaging, or marketing, every food and hospitality business must run a trademark search online in India. This is especially critical for Class 43, where thousands of restaurant and hotel brands are already registered across India.
Our trademark search covers the IP India database thoroughly. We check for phonetic similarities, visual resemblance, and conceptual overlap — not just exact matches. Similarly, we examine existing registrations in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, and every other major city. Consequently, you receive a detailed clearance report before you spend a rupee on branding. This prevents costly rebranding later.
Trademark Objection Reply for Class 43
After filing, the Trademark Registry often raises objections on grounds of similarity or descriptiveness. An objection is not a rejection — however, it requires a strong, well-reasoned reply within the stipulated time. Our experts specialise in drafting trademark objection replies that address every ground raised by the examiner.
For Class 43 businesses, objections often arise when a brand name is geographically descriptive (for example, "Delhi Dhaba" or "Mumbai Café") or resembles an existing registered mark. Additionally, our legal team prepares supporting evidence such as user affidavits, sales records, and advertising proofs to strengthen your reply. Therefore, your chances of overcoming the objection are significantly higher.
Trademark Hearing Representation
When an objection cannot be resolved through written reply alone, the case proceeds to a trademark hearing. Our qualified representatives appear before the Registrar of Trademarks on your behalf and present a compelling case for your Class 43 brand.
Furthermore, we prepare comprehensive hearing briefs, case law references, and supporting annexures. Clients across India — from Gurugram to Guwahati, from Nashik to Namakkal — rely on SetupFiling.in for Trademark Hearing representation. Subsequently, most of our clients receive a favourable order after the hearing.
Logo and Brand Name Trademark Registration
Many food and hospitality businesses want to protect not just their name but also their logo trademark registration. In Class 43, protecting your logo is equally important as protecting the word mark. A unique logo builds instant visual brand recognition in the competitive restaurant and hotel industry.
Moreover, registering a brand name in India under Class 43 gives you the ® symbol right, the exclusive right to use the mark for hotel and restaurant services, and the legal standing to sue infringers. Additionally, we assist in registering your trademark name and logo as a composite mark for comprehensive coverage.
Trademark Renewal for Class 43
A Class 43 trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application. After that, it must be renewed to maintain protection. Our trademark renewal online service ensures your Class 43 mark is renewed on time — without lapse, without penalties.
Furthermore, we send timely reminders before the renewal deadline. Many businesses lose their trademark protection simply because they forget to renew on time. As a result, a competitor can file for the same mark and legally use your brand identity. Therefore, our renewal service is essential for long-term brand protection across all Indian cities and states.
GST Registration for Restaurant and Hotel Businesses
Every food and hospitality business registered under Class 43 also requires GST registration. Restaurants, hotels, cafés, and catering businesses with annual turnover above the threshold must be GST-compliant. Furthermore, e-commerce food delivery businesses operating on platforms like Swiggy or Zomato must Register for GST regardless of turnover.
SetupFiling.in provides complete GST registration service in India for hospitality businesses. Additionally, we assist with GST return filing and GSTR-3B filing to keep your business fully compliant. For new restaurants and hotels, our new company GST registration service gets you a GSTIN quickly.
What Is Class 43 Trademark — A Complete Understanding for Indian Businesses
Class 43 is one of the 45 classes under the NICE Classification system, which India follows for Trademark Registration. Specifically, Class 43 covers services for providing food and drink and services for providing temporary accommodation. This means any business that serves food, beverages, or provides lodging must register its brand under Class 43.
Notably, the food product itself is not covered under Class 43 — that falls under Classes 29, 30, 31, and 32. For example, a branded packaged sauce would be covered under Class 30, while the restaurant serving that sauce would be covered under Class 43. Consequently, many businesses in the food sector need registrations in multiple classes simultaneously.
Furthermore, with India's food and hospitality industry growing at a rapid pace — with cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and Ahmedabad seeing hundreds of new restaurants and hotels opening every year — the risk of brand duplication is extremely high. As a result, filing under Class 43 early is critical for brand protection. Our best trademark registration service includes dedicated support from application to certificate. Call +91 9818209246 today.
