What is a Trademark?

Following the Indian Trademarks Act of 1999 (Section 2(zb)), a trademark is a distinctive marker that distinguishes products or services from competitors in the market. It encompasses various elements such as symbols, designs, expressions, or any identifiable feature linked to a specific brand. Remarkably, trademarks are open to ownership by individuals, corporations, or legal entities, making them accessible to a broad spectrum of entities and individuals alike.

Why Should You Register Your Trademark?

Trademark registration protects your rights to use the mark in association with your goods or services. It offers a robust shield against infringement, empowering you to take legal action against unauthorized trademark use. Upon successful registration, your trademark remains valid for ten years from the filing date, with the option to renew it indefinitely.

• Individuals
• Joint owners of a company
• Proprietorship firms
• Partnership firms (with a maximum of ten partners)
• Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
• Indian companies
• Foreign companies
• Trusts
• Societies

This inclusivity ensures that various businesses and entities can safeguard their brand identities through trademark registration.

Types of Trademark Registrations in India

In India, various trademark registrations cater to different needs and purposes, all aimed at enabling consumers to recognize products and services associated with specific manufacturers or service providers. Here, we delve into the distinct categories of trademark registrations available:

Product Mark

This type of trademark is affixed to goods or products, aiding in identifying their origin and preserving a company's reputation. Trademark applications falling under classes 1-34 are typically classified as product marks as they pertain to tangible commodities.

Service Mark

 

Similar to a product mark, a service mark is used to identify services rather than physical products. Service marks primarily help differentiate the providers of certain services from others.
