Overview of Trademark Registration in India

Trademarks are distinct symbols, designs, words, or expressions that identify and differentiate a company’s goods or services from those of others. They play a crucial role in building brand identity and protecting a company’s reputation. Trademarks are safeguarded under intellectual property laws, specifically the Trademark Act, 1999, which protects against infringement.

Registering a trademark is essential to secure exclusive rights, preventing others from using or imitating your brand’s identity. Trademarks help consumers quickly recognize and connect with a brand, such as the iconic Nike swoosh or Puma’s leaping wildcat logo.
