Protect Your Brand in India

Secure exclusive legal rights to your brand name, logo, slogan, or tagline under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. File your trademark application on IPIndia with expert assistance from SVS DigiCorp.

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a unique sign, word, logo, symbol, design, phrase, or combination thereof that identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one business from those of others. In India, trademarks are registered and protected under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (CGPDTM).

Why is trademark registration necessary? Without registration, you have no legal ownership over your brand identity. Anyone can copy your brand name, logo, or tagline — and you'll have limited legal recourse. A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use the mark across India, the right to use the ® symbol, and the power to take legal action against infringers. It is also required for Amazon Brand Registry, brand protection on e-commerce platforms, and for licensing your brand.

Trademark applications are filed online via the IPIndia portal (ipindia.gov.in) using Form TM-A. India follows the Nice Classification system with 45 classes — Classes 1–34 for goods and 35–45 for services. A registered trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.
