Tips for Choosing a Registrable Trademark

Invent a New Word

Coined words like "Amul" or "Zoho" have the strongest protection. Combine syllables or use portmanteau words.

Avoid Geographic Names

Names of states, cities, or regions alone cannot be registered. Add a distinctive element.

Choose the Right Class

Register in all classes where you operate. A Class 25 registration does not protect you in Class 42.

Search Before Branding

Invest in a professional trademark search before printing branding materials. Rebranding is expensive.

File Early

India follows first-to-file priority. Even if you have been using a mark for years, a later filer gets priority if you have not registered.

Protect Your Logo Too

File separate device (logo) trademark applications. Word mark and device mark give combined protection.
