Simply put, a trademark is a symbol that represents your business. A visual symbol such as a verbal signature, name, device, label, number, or color combination used by a trademark owner for goods or services or other commercial products to distinguish them from other similar products or services of different companies. A trademark can be any word, symbol, brand name, packaging, tagline, or combination thereof, and is used by manufacturers or service providers to identify their own products and/or services. It is used to distinguish the owner's products or services from those of competitors. Anyone who is an individual, business, or legal entity claiming to be the owner of the trademark can apply. Trademark applications can be filed online and upon making a payment towards application, an acknowledgment number will be issued, after that one can start using the "TM" symbol. After receiving the application, the Registry will review the application and issue an examination report. In the examination report, if there are any observations, the applicant needs to give a suitable reply with supporting documents within 30 days from the date of receipt of the examination report. If the Registry is satisfied with the reply, the application will be published in Trademark Journal for the public to share comments if any. If no objections are received from the public, Trademark will be registered. Once registered, the applicant can use ® (registered symbol) next to your trademark. Once registered, the trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date, renewable from time to time.
