What is Trademark?
A trademark is a unique symbol, word, slogan, design, or a combination of these elements that identifies and distinguishes the products or services of one business from another. It can be registered under the Trademark Act, 1999 in India to provide legal protection to the owner and prevent others from using it without permission. The registration process involves filing an application with the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (CGPDTM) along with relevant documents and fees. A registered trademark is valid for ten years and can be renewed indefinitely upon payment of renewal fees.
