Lex Legalizer protects brands across Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. We handle trademark filing, opposition, infringement litigation, and renewals under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 — end to end, no handoffs between departments.
Why Trademark Registration Can't Wait
India runs on a first-to-use, first-to-file system. Whoever files (and can prove use) first generally wins the mark, which means every month you delay is a month someone else could claim your name. Over 5.5 lakh trademark applications were filed in 2025 alone, and total IP filings crossed 7.49 lakh — a nearly 20% jump year-on-year. The register is getting more crowded, not less, and the average trademark registration success rate over the past few years sits around 60%, mostly because of names that clash with something already on file.
A registered trademark gets you exclusive rights, statutory protection against copycats, and standing to move fast in Delhi High Court or any IP forum when someone infringes. An unregistered brand only has the common-law remedy of passing off — a real option, but a much harder one to prove in court.
Our Trademark Services
Trademark Search & Clearance
We run comprehensive searches on the IP India portal and common-law databases before you file — checking exact matches, phonetic similarity, and visual similarity across all 45 Nice Classification classes. A basic search only catches identical names; ours is built to catch the near-misses that actually cause objections. Clients across Delhi, Noida, and NCR.
Trademark Registration
We file Form TM-A on the IP India portal, prepare the TM-48 power of attorney, and respond to examination reports on your behalf. Need protection outside India too? We manage Madrid Protocol filings for international coverage. Serving businesses in Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and across NCR.
Trademark Opposition & Objection Reply
Got an examination report or opposition notice? We draft the reply, build the evidence, and represent you before the Registrar of Trademarks. Our clients in Noida, Greater Noida, and Delhi have a strong track record of getting objections cleared.
Trademark Infringement & Litigation
If your mark is being copied, we move fast — infringement suits, ex-parte injunctions from Delhi High Court, and criminal complaints for counterfeiting. Available to clients in Gurgaon, Faridabad, and across NCR.
Trademark Watch & Brand Monitoring
We track new filings and marketplace activity so a conflicting mark gets flagged before it turns into an expensive dispute, not after. Available across Delhi, Ghaziabad, and NCR.
Trademark Renewal & Portfolio Management
A trademark is good for 10 years, then it needs renewal — miss the deadline and you lose the protection. We manage renewals, recordals, assignments, and licensing across your whole portfolio so nothing slips. Serving Greater Noida, Faridabad, and NCR.

Common Questions We Get
File Form TM-A on the IP India portal (ipindia.gov.in). You need to select the correct Nice Classification class for your goods or services, pay the government fee (₹4,500 for individuals/startups, ₹9,000 for companies per class), and attach a TM-48 power of attorney if filing through an attorney. After filing, the Registry examines the application and may issue an examination report. Our trademark lawyers in Delhi handle the entire process from search to registration certificate.
Typically 18 to 24 months from filing. The timeline includes examination (3-12 months), publication in the Trademark Journal (opposition period of 4 months), and issuance of the registration certificate. Expedited registration may be available in some circumstances. Our Noida and Gurgaon clients often achieve faster outcomes because we respond to examination reports quickly, reducing delays.
The current government fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and small enterprises, and ₹9,000 per class for companies and LLPs. If you operate in multiple product/service categories, you need to file in each relevant class. Our trademark attorneys across Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon provide transparent pricing with no hidden charges.
The TM (trademark) symbol can be used immediately after filing your application – it signals that you are claiming rights over the mark. The R symbol (®) can only be used after your trademark is officially registered by the Trademark Registry. Using @ before registration is an offence under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Yes. India allows intent-to-use trademark applications. You can file a trademark application before launching your brand or product. However, if the mark is not used within a reasonable period after registration, it may become vulnerable to cancellation on non-use grounds. Our attorneys advise clients in Greater Noida and Faridabad on the strategic use of intent-to-use filings.
The Trademark Registry issues an examination report detailing the objections – these may be absolute grounds (descriptive mark, prohibited mark) or relative grounds (similarity to existing mark). You must file a reply within 30 days (extendable). If the response is unsatisfactory, a hearing is scheduled. Lex Legalizer’s trademark lawyers in Delhi and Gurgaon have a high success rate in overcoming objections.
India follows the Nice Classification system with 45 classes – 34 for goods (Classes 1-34) and 11 for services (Classes 35-45). Each application covers one class; you must file separate applications for multiple classes. Common examples: Class 9 (software/technology), Class 35 (business services), Class 41 (education), Class 42 (IT services). Our Noida and Ghaziabad clients often file in multiple classes for full brand protection.
Yes. Foreign companies can register trademarks in India either through direct filing at the Indian Trademark Registry or via the Madrid Protocol (if India is a designated country in the international application). India became a member of the Madrid Protocol in 2013. Our attorneys assist international clients and Delhi NCR-based foreign subsidiaries with both routes.
A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years from the date of application. It can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods by paying the renewal fee. Our trademark renewal service ensures you never miss a deadline – we proactively remind clients in Gurgaon, Faridabad, and across NCR well before the renewal due date.
Passing off is a common law remedy that protects unregistered trademarks. If someone uses a name, logo, or mark that causes confusion with your established brand – even if you have not registered the trademark – you can bring a passing off action in court. This is particularly relevant for businesses in Delhi that have built goodwill in their brand but not yet registered it. Lex Legalizer handles both trademark infringement suits (for registered marks) and passing off actions (for unregistered marks).
