Why Meesho Sellers Must Register a Trademark
Meesho has made it easy for anyone to start an online business with zero investment, and thousands of new sellers list products every week under their own store or brand name. But once your brand starts selling well, it becomes an easy target for copycats who list identical products under a similar name, or for buyers who file trademark complaints against you because your brand name was never legally registered.
A registered trademark gives you the exclusive legal right to your Meesho store name, logo, and product branding across India. It also protects you if another seller reports your listing, helps you win disputes on marketplaces, and lets you build a brand that buyers trust and remember.

Frequently Asked Questions: Trademark Registration for Meesho Sellers
Is trademark registration compulsory to sell on Meesho?
No, Meesho allows you to list products as "Unbranded" without a trademark. But if you want to list products under your own brand name, Meesho asks for brand-supporting proof, and a trademark certificate is the strongest document to get that brand name approved and protected.
Without a registered trademark, another supplier can claim the same brand name first, and your listings may get rejected or delayed during Meesho's brand verification. You can start the online trademark registration process as an individual even before your business is fully set up.
What documents does Meesho ask for while approving a brand?
If you manufacture or own the brand, Meesho asks for your trademark certificate or a filed trademark application as brand proof. If you are a reseller or distributor, you instead need a Brand Authorisation Letter from the actual brand owner, along with the purchase invoice and product images showing the brand name.
Sellers without any brand documents can still list products, but only under the "Unbranded" category on the supplier panel. If you are not sure which documents apply to your case, our step-by-step trademark filing guide explains the requirements for owners, resellers, and distributors separately.
Which trademark class should a Meesho seller file under?
Most Meesho sellers file under Class 35, which covers retail, wholesale, and online sale of goods. Alongside Class 35, you should also file under the class that matches what you actually sell, such as Class 25 for clothing, Class 3 for cosmetics, or Class 21 for kitchenware, so your product category itself is protected. See our guide to trademark classes and types to identify the right class for your products.
How long does Meesho take to approve a brand after documents are submitted?
Meesho generally reviews and approves a brand within 3 to 7 working days of the supplier raising a brand-approval ticket with valid supporting documents. If the documents need further verification, Meesho's team may call the registered callback number before approving.
Getting the actual Trademark Registered with the Government of India is a separate, longer process and can take several months to complete.
Can I get brand approval on Meesho with just a filed trademark application?
Yes, in most cases Meesho accepts the trademark application filing receipt (Form TM-A acknowledgement) as valid brand proof, even before the final registration certificate is issued. This lets you start listing under your brand name much sooner, while your full registration is still in process with the Trademark Registry.
What if my brand name is already used by another Meesho seller?
If another supplier is already using the same or a very similar brand name on Meesho, your brand-approval request can get rejected unless you can prove you are the rightful owner through a registered trademark. This is exactly why filing early matters: whoever registers the trademark first generally gets the legal right to the name, regardless of who listed on Meesho first. If your application faces an objection during examination, our trademark objection reply service can help you respond within the deadline.
Why is my brand name not showing in the Meesho listing dropdown?
This usually happens for one of three reasons: your brand has not been approved by Meesho yet, there is a typing mismatch between your brand name and the trademark documents, or the same brand name already exists under a different supplier account. Raising a support ticket with your trademark certificate or application number attached is the fastest way to resolve this.
How does a registered trademark protect me from copycat sellers on Meesho?
Once your trademark is registered, you get the exclusive legal right to that brand name and logo across India. This lets you file an infringement complaint with Meesho's IPR team against any seller copying your name, packaging, or product images, and request that their listings be taken down.
Without a registered trademark, you can still raise a complaint, but marketplaces and courts generally act faster and more decisively once ownership is legally proven.
How much does trademark registration cost for a Meesho seller?
For individuals, sole proprietors, and MSME/Udyam-registered sellers, the government fee is ₹4,500 per trademark class. For companies and partnership firms, the government fee is ₹9,000 per class. Professional filing charges are usually charged separately on top of the government fee. Check our detailed trademark registration fees breakdown for an exact estimate based on your applicant type.
Do I need GST registration before applying for a trademark as a Meesho seller?
No, GST registration is not required to file a trademark application. You can apply for a trademark as an individual using only your Aadhaar and PAN card. GST registration is a separate requirement that Meesho asks for once your turnover crosses the applicable threshold, and it is not linked to your trademark filing. You can complete your GST registration for online sellers alongside your trademark filing whenever it becomes applicable.
