Stepwise Process for Trademark Registration In India
The process of registering a trademark is straightforward and only has to be completed in the prescribed manner. We will assist you throughout the entire process, from filing your trademark application to getting it approved, so that you don’t miss a beat.
STEP 1 – Filing of Trademark Application
The trademark application is submitted within 24 hours of filing it with appropriate documentation and payment. The trademark filing process is completely online, and an instant acknowledgement is issued immediately after the submission of the application. After the issuance of the acknowledgement receipt, the applicant may begin using TM over the trademark. 
STEP 2 – Processing of Application at Trademark Office
After the application is submitted, it is thoroughly examined for any flaws. If any mistakes are found after the evaluation, the TM office either flags the application for further examination or declares that the application filing has failed. The errors must be corrected in either case. 
STEP 3 – Examination of Trademark Application
A trademark examiner looks over the trademark application to determine whether or not the trademark is qualified for registration. After reviewing the trademark application, the examiner publishes an examination report outlining his findings. 
STEP 4 – Reply to Examiner Report
The trademark applicant must respond to the examination report within 30 days of its receipt. The response to the examiner’s report is a critical drafting that can either help or hinder the trademark application. We strongly encourage applicants to assist us by providing as much information and documentation as possible, so that we can prepare a detailed and accurate response to the Examination Report. 
STEP 5 – Show Cause Hearing
After receiving a written response to the examination report, the examiner either gets satisfied with the reply or calls the applicant for a show cause hearing. It is the result of the hearing that further decides the fate of the Trademark application. 
STEP 6 – Publication of Trademark
The trademark application is published in the trademark journal once the examiner is satisfied that the trademark is valid. This either happens at the examination stage or at the show cause hearing based on the status of the application. Third parties may object to the trademark registration, but, if no objections are received within 90 days from the date of hearing, the process of registration shall move to the next step. 
STEP 7 – Issuance of Trademark Registration Certificate
The next step is the registration of the trademark by the registrar. After the registrar successfully registers the trademark, he issues a Certificate of Trademark Registration, valid for ten years from the date of issuance. The trademarks must be renewed after every ten years to extend its validity period.
