What is Trademark Filing in India?

Filing a trademark application at IP India is the foundational step in securing brand protection across India. Once filed, your brand has a priority date — meaning no one who files after you can claim earlier rights to the same mark in the same class. The application number issued at filing is sufficient for Amazon India Brand Registry, investor due diligence and ™ usage.

Device Marks / Logos

Your visual logo or icon — protects the specific graphical representation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does filing take?+
From engaging ZenPoint Trademark to receiving your official IP India filing receipt typically takes 3 to 5 working days. This covers the professional search, application preparation and submission. In urgent cases we can sometimes file faster — contact us to discuss your timeline.
What documents do I need?+
For individuals and Indian companies we need your full legal name or company name, address, a clear image of the mark for logo marks, and your DPIIT or MSME certificate if applicable. Foreign applicants additionally need a signed Power of Attorney. We provide a full checklist after your initial consultation.
What is the government filing fee?+
IP India charges ₹4,500 per class for individuals, sole proprietors, DPIIT startups and MSMEs. The fee is ₹9,000 per class for companies, LLPs and all foreign applicants. Professional fees are quoted separately. Use our Fee Calculator for a full estimate.
Can I file in multiple trademark classes?+
Yes — a separate application is required for each class. We advise on the optimal class selection based on your current and planned business activities. Filing in the correct classes from the outset is critical — classes cannot be added to an existing application.
When can I use ™ after filing?+
You can use the ™ symbol from the date your application is filed at IP India. The ® symbol can only be used after your registration certificate is issued. Using ® before registration is an offence under Section 107 of the Trade Marks Act 1999.
