What is Trademark Registration in India?

Trademark registration is the legal process of protecting your brand name, logo, slogan, or design that distinguishes your products or services from competitors. In India, the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry handles all trademark registrations as per the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

A registered trademark grants you exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with goods or services for 10 years, renewable indefinitely. This protection is available across India and provides legal remedies against unauthorized use.
