Trademark Registration

A trademark is any unique sign, symbol, word, phrase, logo, design, colour combination, sound, or a combination thereof that distinguishes the goods or services of one business from those of another. Trademark Registration is the formal legal process through which a business or individual secures exclusive ownership rights over such a distinctive mark under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, governed and administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. Once registered, a trademark becomes the intellectual property of its owner granting them the exclusive legal right to use that mark in commerce in connection with the specific goods or services for which it is registered. It also empowers the owner to take legal action against any party that infringes upon, imitates, or unlawfully profits from the mark without authorisation.
