Overview

What is Trademark Registration in Punjab?

A trademark is a word, logo, symbol, number, phrase, sound, shape or colour combination that identifies the source of a product or service. It is what separates your goods from every competitor on the shelf — the Parle-G wordmark and the bitten apple on a laptop are both trademarks doing exactly that job.

In India, trademarks are registered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Registration gives you exclusive nationwide rights to the mark in your class, the right to use the ® symbol, and the right to sue anyone who uses an identical or deceptively similar mark. A registered trademark stays valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.

You can use the ™ symbol from the day your application is filed, while the ® symbol becomes available only once the mark is registered — typically 6 to 18 months later, depending on objections and oppositions. We, at LegalFidelity, run the search, file the application, and stay with you through examination and objection until the certificate is issued.

Why it matters

Benefits of registering your trademark in Punjab

Legal protection

Registration gives you the statutory right to sue anyone using an identical or deceptively similar mark, and to have infringing goods seized.

Exclusive rights

You become the sole owner of the mark in your class across India. Nobody else can use it, or anything confusingly close to it, without your permission.

Brand recognition

A protected mark is what customers actually remember and look for. It lets buyers identify your brand instantly instead of the product category.

A real business asset

A registered trademark is an intangible asset on your books. It can be valued, sold, assigned or used as collateral.

Licence and franchise it

Only a registered mark can be cleanly licensed or franchised, which is how brands earn from partners without giving up ownership.

Marketplace brand protection

Amazon Brand Registry, Flipkart and the app stores need a registered or applied trademark before they will act against copycat listings.

Eligibility

Who should register a trademark?

Startups and companies launching a new brand name, logo or tagline

Sole proprietors and freelancers trading under a business name

E-commerce sellers who need brand protection on Amazon or Flipkart

Restaurants, retail chains and franchises expanding to new cities

App and software owners protecting a product or platform name

Any business already using a mark that has never been registered

Trademark vs Copyright vs Patent

All three are intellectual property, but they protect completely different things. Here is what each one covers.

	Trademark	Copyright	Patent
What it protects	Brand names, logos, slogans	Original creative works	Novel inventions
Governing law	Trade Marks Act, 1999	Copyright Act, 1957	Patents Act, 1970
Validity	10 years, renewable forever	Author's life + 60 years	20 years, non-renewable
Symbol used	™ or ®	©	Patent number
Is registration needed?	Optional, but you cannot sue for infringement without it	Optional — rights arise on creation	Mandatory — no patent without grant
Typical example	A company or product brand	Books, music, code, artwork	Machines, processes, formulations

Why act now

What happens if you do not register

An unregistered mark is not worthless, but it is far weaker. India follows a first-to-file system, and the gaps show up exactly when you need the protection most.

No infringement suit

Without registration you cannot sue for infringement under the Trade Marks Act. You are left with a passing-off action, which is slower, costlier and much harder to prove.

Someone else can own it

A later applicant who files first can register your mark and legally force you to stop using it.

No ® symbol

Using ® on an unregistered mark is an offence under the Act. You are limited to ™, which carries far less weight with courts and platforms.

Costly rebrand

Losing the mark means new packaging, signage, domains and marketing — often lakhs in sunk cost and a brand your customers no longer recognise.

Blocked from brand tools

Amazon Brand Registry, Flipkart and the app stores will not give you takedown powers against copycats without a trademark.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Any individual, proprietor, partnership firm, LLP, company, trust or society that wants to protect a brand name, logo or slogan can apply. We, at LegalFidelity, handle the entire application for you.

The application is filed within 1–2 working days and you can use the ™ symbol from that point. Full registration usually takes 6 to 18 months, depending on whether the registry raises an objection or a third party files an opposition.

Any word, logo, symbol, sound, shape, number, colour combination or expression that distinguishes your goods or services from those of others can be trademarked.

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application. It can be renewed for another 10 years, indefinitely, so long as you renew on or before expiry.

No, it is not compulsory. But without registration there is no statutory protection against misuse — anyone can adopt a deceptively similar mark and you cannot sue them for infringement. Registration is strongly advised for any brand you intend to build on.

You can run a public search on the government's trademark search portal by choosing the class and entering the mark to look for conflicting entries.

Our Standard and Premium plans include a full search done by an expert, which also catches deceptively similar marks a plain text search will miss.

™ is used for unregistered marks or marks pending registration — you can use it from the day you file. ® is only for registered trademarks, and it is an offence to use it before your mark is registered.

No. Indian registration protects you only in Punjab. To protect the mark abroad you must file in each country, or use the Madrid Protocol to file across multiple member countries from a single application.

Our professional fees start at ₹2,999. The government fee is charged separately at ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and MSMEs, and ₹9,000 per class for other applicants. You get a fixed, all-in quote during your free consultation.

No. The entire process is online. You share documents and a signed Form TM-48 from your phone, and our expert files everything with the Trade Marks Registry on your behalf.
