Trademark & Copyright Protection
Protect the names, logos and creative work that make your brand unique.
What Is Intellectual Property Protection?
Intellectual property law gives creators and businesses exclusive rights over what they've built, and different forms of IP protect different things. A trademark, under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, protects brand identifiers — names, logos, taglines — from being used by others in a way that causes confusion. Copyright, under the Copyright Act, 1957, protects original literary, artistic, musical and software works automatically on creation, with registration serving as strong evidence of ownership. A patent, under the Patents Act, 1970, protects a novel invention or process, while design registration, under the Designs Act, 2000, protects the unique visual appearance of a product. Most businesses need more than one of these — a brand name (trademark), the product's look (design), the underlying invention (patent), and any original content or code (copyright) each require separate protection.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Adopting a brand name or logo without running a prior trademark search, risking rejection or infringement claims later.
Filing a trademark under the wrong class of goods or services, leaving the brand unprotected in its actual category.
Waiting until a dispute arises to register copyright in original content, losing the evidentiary head-start registration gives.
Assuming that registering a company or business name automatically protects the brand as a trademark — it doesn't.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trademark registration take?
Typically 12–18 months if unopposed, though a Trademark Application Number is issued immediately, allowing provisional use of the ™ symbol while the application is examined.
What's the difference between ™ and ®?
™ can be used once you've filed an application, signalling a claimed but not yet registered mark; ® is reserved by law for marks that have completed registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Can I register a logo and a brand name together?
They're usually filed as separate applications since a word mark and a device (logo) mark may be examined differently, but we can file both together for you where it makes sense.
What's the difference between trademark, copyright, patent and design registration?
A trademark protects brand identifiers like names and logos, copyright protects original literary, artistic, musical or software works, a patent protects a novel invention or process, and design registration protects the visual appearance of a product — each governed by its own Act.
Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark application?
No, a trademark application can be filed by the applicant or through a registered trademark agent or attorney — we handle the search, filing, and any objection or opposition response on your behalf.
