"Trademark registration gives you the exclusive right to protect your brand's logo, symbol, and name. Secure your brand with our trademark services."
"Under the Indian Trademarks Act of 1999, a trademark is a unique symbol, design, or feature that sets a brand apart from others. It can be owned by individuals, companies, or organizations, making it available to a wide range of people and businesses."
"In India, anyone—whether an individual, business, or organization—can apply for a trademark. You can start using
the "TM" symbol soon after applying, and the registration process takes about 6-8 months if there are no issues. If there’s an objection, it may take up to 18 months. Once registered, you can use the "R" symbol, and the trademark is valid for 10 years, after which it needs to be renewed."
