A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand identity — and the legal power to stop anyone who copies it. We handle trademark registration and enforcement with precision, under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
What We Protect
A registered trademark (®) gives you exclusive nationwide rights to use your brand in the registered class of goods or services. Without registration, your only recourse when copied is a passing-off action — which requires proving a reputation built over years. Registration provides an immediate, presumptive right to your brand from the date of application.
Registration also enables you to: license your brand commercially, use ® symbol legally, take customs action against counterfeit imports, and access the Madrid Protocol for international protection — all with the backing of a registered right.
