Protection Against Infringement

Registration gives you legal recourse if someone copies or misuses your brand or work.

Licensing & Assignment

Registered IP can be licensed, franchised or assigned to generate additional value.

Compliance & Renewal

Timely renewal and monitoring keeps your protection active and enforceable.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before choosing and filing a trademark, copyright, design or patent application.

It depends on what you're protecting. A trademark protects a brand name, logo or tagline; copyright protects original literary, artistic or software works; a design registration protects the visual appearance of an article; and a patent protects a new invention or technical process. Many businesses need more than one of these together.

Timelines depend on the class applied for, examination queues and whether any objection or opposition is raised. A straightforward application without objections is generally quicker; applications facing an objection, hearing or opposition can take considerably longer.

Once a trademark is published in the Trademark Journal, third parties get a window to file an opposition. If this happens, a counter-statement and supporting evidence need to be filed, and the matter may proceed to a hearing before the Registrar.

Yes. A trademark registration is valid for a fixed term and can be renewed before expiry by filing the applicable renewal application and fee. If the renewal window is missed, a restoration application may be required, subject to applicable timelines.

A trademark search is strongly recommended before filing. It helps identify identical or similar existing marks in the relevant class, reducing the risk of objection or opposition later in the process.

Yes, ownership of a registered trademark, patent or design can be transferred through an assignment, subject to the applicable procedure and recordal with the concerned authority.
