There is no need to visit a Trademark Registry office in person, since the entire process, including document submission, is completed online.

What You Need Before Filing a TM Application Online

Applicant & Signatory Details

Full name, address, and details of the applicant and the authorised signatory, along with the type of entity applying, such as an individual, firm, or company.

The Mark to Be Registered

Whether you are filing a word mark, a device mark with a logo image, or a combination mark, ready in the correct format for upload.

Correct Trademark Class

Identification of the correct class or classes under the NICE Classification, along with a clear description of the goods or services covered.

Online TM Application Filing Process: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Trademark Availability Search

    An online search is conducted on the Trademark Registry database to check whether an identical or deceptively similar mark already exists in the relevant class.

  2. 2

    Create a User ID on the e-Filing Portal

    A registered user account is created on the Trademark Registry's official e-filing portal, or the application is filed through an authorised trademark agent or attorney.

  3. 3

    Fill Form TM-A Online

    The online Form TM-A is completed with applicant details, the type of mark (word, device, or combination), the selected class, and the list of goods or services.

  4. 4

    Upload Supporting Documents

    The logo image (for a device mark), user affidavit (where prior use is claimed), and Form TM-48 (power of attorney, if filed through an agent) are uploaded to the portal.

  5. 5

    Pay the Government Fee Online

    The applicable government fee is paid directly through the portal's online payment gateway, and a digital receipt is generated instantly.

  6. 6

    Receive Application Number & Acknowledgement

    Once submitted, an official acknowledgement with a unique application number is generated instantly, and the TM symbol can be used from this point onward.

Tracking Your Online TM Application Status

Once your application is filed online, you can check its status at any stage using your application number on the Trademark Registry's public search portal. This includes tracking whether the application is under examination, has been objected to, has been published in the Trademark Journal, or has proceeded to registration. Staying on top of status updates is especially important during the 30-day window to reply to any examination objection.

Frequently Asked Questions: Online TM Application Filing

What is online TM application filing?

It is the process of filing a trademark application entirely through the Trademark Registry's official e-filing portal, including Form TM-A submission, document upload, and government fee payment, without needing to visit an office in person.

Is online filing cheaper than physical filing?

Yes. The Trademark Registry charges a discounted government fee for applications filed electronically compared to applications filed on paper, in addition to being faster and easier to track.

Can I file a trademark application myself online?

Yes, individuals can create their own user account on the Trademark Registry's e-filing portal and file directly. Many applicants prefer using a trademark attorney or agent to reduce the risk of classification errors or avoidable objections.

What happens immediately after I submit my TM application online?

An official acknowledgement with a unique application number is generated instantly, and you can begin using the TM symbol alongside your mark from that point onward.

How do I track my online trademark application status?

You can check your application status at any time on the Trademark Registry's public search portal using your application number, including examination status, objections, and journal publication.

What documents are needed to file a TM application online?

You need the applicant's name, father's name, and address, company name if any, MSME certificate if available, your logo in JPEG format if filing a device mark, a list of products or services, the applicable trademark class, and a valid email ID and mobile number.

Is Form TM-48 needed for online filing?

Form TM-48 is required when a trademark agent or attorney files the application on the applicant's behalf, authorising them to act as the applicant's representative before the Registry.

Can I file for a word mark and a device mark separately online?

Yes. A word mark application only requires the text of the mark, while a device mark application additionally requires a logo image upload. Both can be filed as separate applications through the same online process.

What happens if my online application faces an objection?

If the Examiner raises an objection under Section 9 or Section 11, a written reply must be filed online within 30 days of the Examination Report, failing which the application can be treated as abandoned.

How long does it take to complete online TM application filing?

The filing itself, from search to submission, typically happens within 24-48 hours when handled by Setupfiling.in. The overall registration process, including examination and journal publication, can take several months to around two years.

What exactly is included in the ₹1,999 online TM filing package?

The ₹1,999 professional fee covers a trademark availability search and complete online application filing under one class. The government fee of ₹4,500 is paid separately to the Trademark Registry and is not included in the ₹1,999 professional charge.
