FAQ
Frequently asked
How long does trademark registration take in India?+
An uncontested application typically matures to registration in 12–18 months. You can use the ™ symbol from the date of filing and ® once registered.
Someone is using my brand name online. What can I do?+
We usually start with a cease-and-desist notice and platform takedowns; if that fails, a passing-off or infringement suit with an interim injunction before the Bombay High Court.
Do I need to register copyright, or is it automatic?+
Copyright exists automatically on creation, but registration is strong prima facie evidence in court and makes enforcement far easier.
