Trademark Services — Register It, Defend It, Keep It.
From filing a fresh application to defending it through objection, opposition, and hearings, and renewing it every 10 years — we handle the full lifecycle of a trademark.
Contact UsA trademark is one of the few business assets that can genuinely last forever — a registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 is valid for 10 years and renewable indefinitely, unlike a patent which eventually expires. But getting there, and staying there, involves several distinct procedural stages: filing the application with the right class and specification, responding to any examination objection the Registrar raises, defending against third-party opposition if the mark is contested after publication, appearing at a hearing where required, and — years later — renewing the registration or, if a conflict arises, seeking rectification or filing an infringement notice against unauthorised use.
Each of these stages has its own procedural deadlines and requirements, and missing one — a 30-day objection response window, a renewal date, an opposition counter-statement deadline — can mean losing the application or the registration itself, regardless of how strong the underlying mark is. We track these deadlines and handle each stage as part of a continuous engagement rather than a one-off filing.
This page indexes our trademark services — Registration, Objection, Certificate, Opposition, Hearing, Rectification, Infringement Notice, Renewal, and Transfer. Each has its own detailed page; start with whichever stage your mark is currently at.
