Kinds of Trademark Filing Forms

Let us first understand Trademark

A Trademark is a unique and recognizable symbol. You can think of a Trademark as a design or expression that uniquely identifies the source of a product. A Trademark is also supposed to distinguish itself from other products. Therefore, obtaining a registration certification for the Trademark becomes necessary to help in protecting such marks, symbols, slogans or designs. Such a move with saving the Trademark from being exploited by competitors.

 

Filing for Trademark Registration in India

Once the applicant files an application for Trademark Registration with the RoC, the TM symbol can be attached to the registered mark. Once the logo gets registered with the Authority, the owner is permitted to affix the symbol ® along with the Trademark symbol. Such symbols provide great value to its Brand. Therefore, to have such symbols for your Brand, the Trademark applicant must apply for a Trademark Registration application in the appropriate TM form.

While applying for Trademark Registration and obtaining the registration certificate, the applicant must file several Trademark Forms as specified in Trademark Act 1999
