A trademark is any unique expression related to a product or service that distinguishes it from others. This expression could be a word, slogan, photograph, logo, graphic, colour combination, sound or even smell. Owners of trademarks have exclusive rights to use trademark under the categories they are registered in.

Trademarks in India are registered by the Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks, Ministry of Commerce and Industry. A registered trademark is an intangible asset or intellectual property for a business and is used to protect the company’s investment in the brand or symbol. In India ™ can be acquired within three days, but it takes up to two years for it to be registered so that you can use the ® symbol.

A trademark is registerable if it is distinctive for the goods and services you provide. Proposed trademarks that are similar or identical to an existing registered trademark cannot be registered. Also, trademarks are not registerable if it is offensive, generic, deceptive, not distinctive, contains specially protected emblems, etc.

It is advisable to get trademark registration in India for business name, logo, tagline etc under the trademarks Act.
