Intellectual Property & Trademark Services

In a knowledge-driven economy, intellectual property is often a business's most valuable asset. A brand name, logo, product innovation, creative work, or proprietary technology can define competitive advantage and drive premium valuation. Yet many businesses in India — from startups to established enterprises — remain inadequately protected, leaving their IP assets vulnerable to infringement and unauthorized copying.

India's intellectual property framework has been significantly strengthened in recent years, with simplified filing procedures, reduced timelines, and enhanced enforcement mechanisms. The Trade Marks Registry processes trademark applications more efficiently than before, and the IP offices have embraced digital processes for filing and tracking applications.

PDA Corporate Solutions' IP practice provides businesses with a strategic approach to intellectual property — from conducting comprehensive searches to identify registrability and conflicts, through filing and prosecution of applications, to enforcement and licensing advisory. We protect your brand, innovation, and creative output so you can focus on building your business with confidence in your IP assets.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trademark registration take in India?
From filing to registration, the process typically takes 18-36 months if no objections or oppositions are raised. The examination report is typically issued within 1-2 years of filing. An application number is issued immediately upon filing, giving constructive notice of the claim.
What is the difference between ™ and ® symbols?
The ™ symbol can be used immediately after filing a trademark application to indicate a claim to the mark, even before registration is granted. The ® symbol (Registered Trademark) can only be legally used after the trademark is officially registered by the Trade Marks Registry.
Can a business name and a logo both be trademarked?
Yes, a business name (word mark) and a logo (device mark) can and should be registered separately as trademarks. Many businesses also register their taglines. Each registration provides independent protection for that specific element of the brand.
What happens if someone infringes my registered trademark?
A registered trademark owner can file a civil suit before a District Court or High Court for injunction, damages, and account of profits. In cases of deliberate infringement, criminal complaints under Section 103 of the Trade Marks Act 1999 can also be filed. Interim injunctions provide immediate relief pending trial.
