Overview

A trademark is more than just a name or logo; it's your brand's legal identity. It distinguishes your goods or services from others and protects your brand from misuse or imitation. In India, trademarks are governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Once registered, it gives the owner exclusive rights to use the mark and take legal action against infringement. In a digital-first world, protecting your brand is no longer optional. Whether you're launching a startup, growing a family business, or managing a corporate empire, conducting a trademark check online in India is the first step to safeguarding your identity.
