TOTAL COST
Most firms quote for filing, then bill again when an objection arrives and again for the hearing. Those two stages decide whether your mark actually registers. Both are included here.
Complete trademark package
| Professional fee | ₹2,000 |
| Government fee | ₹4,500 |
| Total | ₹6,500 |
No extra charge for objection reply or hearing.
Per mark, in one class. The ₹4,500 government fee is the online rate for individuals, startups and MSME registered businesses. Other companies pay the standard rate, confirmed before filing. GST applies on the professional fee.
Full search of the IP India register and phonetically similar marks before we file.
Documents in during working hours, application filed the same day, TM number back to you.
If the Registry raises an examination objection we draft and file the reply. No extra charge.
If a show cause hearing is listed we appear for it. No extra charge.
We check the register and phonetically similar marks before you commit. Filing a mark that was never going to survive examination wastes both the fee and months of time.
Goods and services fall into 45 classes. Filing in the wrong class leaves the actual business unprotected, and the class cannot be changed later.
The application is filed with IP India and the application number is issued, usually within a few days. You can use the TM symbol from this point.
The Registry examines the mark and may raise objections. We reply, attend the hearing if listed, and handle opposition if a third party files one.
A trademark application is rarely a single transaction. The Registry examines the mark and frequently raises an objection under Section 9 or Section 11, which needs a written reply and often a hearing. This is where a cheap filing quote turns expensive, because most providers bill separately at each stage. We price the whole thing at ₹6,500 so the number you see is the number you pay. If a third party opposes your mark after it is advertised in the Journal, that is a contested proceeding and is quoted separately, and we will tell you honestly what it involves.
Yes, for one mark in one class. It is made up of our professional fee of ₹2,000 and the government fee of ₹4,500, and it covers the search, the filing, the reply to any examination objection and representation at the hearing. GST applies on the professional fee. The ₹4,500 government fee is the online rate for individuals, startups and MSME registered businesses; other companies pay the standard government rate, which we confirm before filing. If you need protection in more than one class, each class carries its own government fee.
Opposition proceedings, where a third party formally challenges your mark after it is advertised in the Journal, are contested matters and are quoted separately. Renewal after ten years is also separate. Everything up to and including the examination hearing is covered by the ₹6,500.
Filing takes days, but registration takes considerably longer. If the mark passes examination unopposed it typically completes within a year to eighteen months. Objections or opposition extend it. You can use the TM symbol from the date of filing and the R symbol only after registration.
TM can be used as soon as you file, and signals a claim to the mark. R can only be used once the mark is registered. Using R before registration is an offence.
Not if it is identical or deceptively similar for related goods or services. This is what the search is for. An unregistered prior user can also oppose your mark and, in some cases, defeat it.
Goods and services are divided into 45 classes. Your protection extends only to the classes you file in. A restaurant and a clothing line using the same name sit in different classes and can often coexist.
An examination report is issued and a written reply is due within the prescribed period. If the Registry is not satisfied, a hearing is listed. Objections are common and are not a rejection, but ignoring the deadline means the application is treated as abandoned.
No. Individuals, proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, companies, trusts and societies can all own a trademark. Registering as a small entity with a Udyam certificate reduces the government fee.
Registration lasts ten years and can be renewed indefinitely in ten year blocks. A lapsed mark can be restored within a limited window, but it is far cheaper to renew on time.
Our proposition
Fixed prices with all government fees included. No separate bill when an objection arrives.
Prices shown are for individuals, startups and MSME registered businesses, which is the concessional government fee slab. Other companies pay the standard government fee, which we confirm in writing before filing. Each additional class, design or work carries its own government fee. GST applies on the professional fee. Opposition and infringement proceedings are contested matters and are quoted separately.
