ट्रेडमार्क खोज

प्रक्रिया
हम वास्तव में क्या करते हैं
- 1
We search the Registry for identical and similar marks
Not just exact matches. The test at examination is deceptive similarity — phonetic, visual and conceptual — so the search covers variants, near-homophones and translations, in the classes that matter and the ones adjacent to them.
- 2
We check the company and LLP registers
A company already trading under a similar name may have common-law rights strong enough to oppose, even with no registration. The MCA register is where those show up.
- 3
We look for unregistered use in the market
Passing-off rights arise from use, not registration. A business using the mark without registering it can still oppose yours, and finding that before filing is considerably cheaper than finding it at advertisement.
- 4
We give you a plain assessment, not a list
The output is a view: file as is, file with a modification, or choose something else — with the specific prior marks that drive the answer. A search report that lists sixty marks and draws no conclusion has not done the job.
- 5
We suggest workable alternatives where it is not available
Where the mark is blocked, the useful output is what would clear — a distinctive prefix, a different class strategy, or a device element that carries the distinctiveness the word cannot.
यह किसके लिए है
- Anyone about to file a trade mark application
- Businesses choosing a name before incorporating or buying a domain
- Businesses entering a new product category that needs a new class
- Anyone who has received a cease-and-desist and needs to know how strong the other side actually is
- Investors or acquirers checking what a target's brand rights really amount to
कितना समय लगता है
One to three working days for a search and a written assessment across the relevant classes.
यदि आप कुछ न करें
You file blind. The realistic outcomes are an examination objection under section 11 citing a mark you could have found in an afternoon, or an opposition four months after advertisement from a proprietor who has been watching the Journal. Both cost the fee, the time and, if the branding has already gone to print, a great deal more.

जो अक्सर ग़लत होता है
- Searching only for the exact word, when the test at examination is deceptive similarity
- Searching only the class you sell in, and missing a blocking mark in an adjacent one
- Ignoring unregistered use, which can support an opposition without any registration at all
- Treating a clear search as a guarantee — it materially improves the odds, it does not remove the risk
- Ordering a search after the branding, packaging and signage have already been paid for
जुर्माना
- No penalty — a search is voluntary. The cost of skipping it is the filing fee and a year of pendency
- Adopting a mark that infringes an existing registration exposes you to an injunction and damages
- Rebranding after the fact costs far more than the search would have, in packaging, signage and goodwill
ये वैधानिक राशियाँ हैं, हमारा शुल्क नहीं। हमारा शुल्क आपकी स्थिति पर निर्भर करता है और कोटेशन में दिया जाता है।
