Did you know ?
Coca-Cola recently secured a favourable decision from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in a dispute involving Indian beverage trademarks.
Also, remember — if you keep renewing your trademark on time, it will remain valid indefinitely under the Trademark Act, 1999. Your brand can stay protected forever with regular renewal.
An Overview of Individual Trademark Registration!
A trademark is a unique symbol that helps identify your brand. It can be a name, logo, picture, word, label, or even a sound. Registering a trademark is the first and most important step to protect your brand identity. In India, a trademark is initially registered for ten years and must be renewed thereafter as per Section 25 of the Trademarks Act, 1999.
Once registered, a trademark becomes a valuable business asset because it helps establish a distinct identity in the minds of consumers. It is also important to monitor and prevent others from registering similar trademarks, even if they belong to different categories or industries.
Trademarks are mainly classified into two types:
1. Individual Trademark
An individual trademark distinguishes the goods or services of one company from those of others. Most trademarks fall under this category.
2. Collective Trademark
A collective trademark represents goods or services that share certain common characteristics. The holder of a collective trademark does not use it personally; instead, they authorize others who meet specific standards or criteria to use it.
A good example is the Woolmark symbol, which certifies quality standards for wool products.
Benefits of Trademark Registration
Registering a trademark is a crucial step in establishing and protecting your ownership rights. Once your trademark is registered, you gain strong legal protection against any misuse or infringement of your brand name. It also safeguards the goodwill your brand has built over time, ensuring that no one else can unlawfully benefit from your reputation.
Trademark registration provides essential protection against false, misleading, or frivolous legal claims. It prevents others from accusing you of unauthorized trademark use. Instead, with a registered trademark in your name, you hold the legal authority to take action against anyone who uses your mark without permission.
A registered trademark helps your organization project a strong identity, clear vision, and distinctive brand value. This positive brand image naturally attracts skilled and talented individuals who wish to associate with a trustworthy and recognized company. As a result, your recruitment process becomes easier, faster, and more cost-effective, helping you build a high-quality workforce.
Checklist for Individual Trademark Registration:
- An individual who is not engaged in any business can also file a trademark application.
- A person may register a trademark for a word or symbol they intend to use in the future.
- When filing a trademark application as an individual, it is mandatory to provide the applicant’s true and verified identity.
How Is Trademark Registration for Individuals Done by Nimble Trio ?
With our easy-to-use platform, you can quickly upload all the necessary documents and complete the trademark registration payment through our secure payment gateways.
At Nimble Trio, we handle the entire trademark registration process on your behalf. The steps we follow are listed below.
Step 1: Detailed Brand Search by Our Specialists
Our team conducts an in-depth search to verify whether your selected brand name or logo is already registered by someone else. If any similarity is detected, we assist you in refining it to avoid future rejection. If no conflicts appear, we move to the next step.
Step 2: Selecting the Correct Trademark Class
Our skilled trademark professionals ensure that your application is filed under the appropriate class based on your products or services.
Step 3: Verifying Trademark Originality
Before proceeding, we confirm that your trademark is unique and eligible for registration. Once validated, we prepare the authorization letter for you to sign, allowing us to file the application on your behalf.
Step 4: Collection of Required Documents
Our team then gathers all the documents needed for your trademark registration.
Step 5: Drafting Your Application
We prepare your draft application through our specially designed online system. You can review the draft and request changes before final submission.
Step 6: Filing Your Application
After your approval, we submit the application. A reference number will be generated upon successful filing and shared with you via your registered mobile number and email. You can track the progress anytime through the Nimble Trio portal.
Step 7: Follow-Up and Coordination
We maintain regular communication with the authorities to fast-track your application and respond to any queries raised by the Trademark Registry.
Step 8: Trademark Usage Rights Provided
Once the authorities verify your documents, you will receive your TM application number within 3 working days. This gives you the provisional right to start using the ™ symbol. If your application faces no objections, it will be published in the official trademark journal. When no oppositions are filed within four months, your trademark gets officially registered within the following six months.
