Trademark Registration in India is the legal process of protecting your brand name, logo, or slogan under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Any business or founder with a brand identity worth protecting from copying needs it.

Government fees start from Rs 4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and MSMEs filing online, and Rs 9,000 per class for companies, LLPs, and other entities, with professional charges on top of these government fees.

When uncontested, registration typically takes 18-24 months from filing. If the Registry raises an objection or a third party opposes your mark, the timeline can extend to 3-5 years or more.

Yes, Trademark Registration is filed centrally through the IP India portal, so Tax Robo handles it 100% online for clients in Chennai and anywhere else in India.

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of registration and can be renewed indefinitely for further 10-year periods, at a government fee of Rs 9,000 per class.

You will need ID proof, address proof, business registration details, and your brand name, logo, or slogan, along with a passport-size photograph of the applicant.

The ₹4,500 concessional rate only applies if you already hold a valid Udyam Registration Certificate or a DPIIT Startup certificate at the time of filing Form TM-A — without it in hand, you’re charged the ₹9,000 company rate with no refund later. Tax Robo checks your eligibility before filing so you don’t miss the discount.
