Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trademark registration take in India?

Trademark-registration timelines vary according to examination, objections, hearings and third-party opposition. Current status and deadlines should be checked through the official IP India system.

What is the difference between trademark infringement and passing off?

Trademark infringement occurs when a registered trademark is used without the owner's consent. Passing off is an action available even for unregistered marks โ€” it prevents misrepresentation that causes confusion about the origin of goods or services. Both remedies are available in Indian courts.

Can I stop someone from using a similar brand name in Bangalore?

Yes. If your trademark is registered, you can file an infringement suit in the High Court of Karnataka and seek an interim injunction to immediately stop the infringing use. Even without registration, a passing off action is available if you can demonstrate prior use and reputation.

What are the trademark classes I need to register in?

India follows the Nice Classification system with 45 classes (1โ€“34 for goods, 35โ€“45 for services). You must register in the class(es) relevant to your products or services. Advocate Pallavi can advise on the right classes to cover your business adequately.
