Hi..

The process od registration of a trade make commences with a prior tradename search which includes the search of the registry to ascertain if your tradename is even available for registration and the potential objections that could occur along with the chances of overcoming the same.

Subsequently, based on the search results the relevant application(s) are filed. Post this stage, the registry reviews the applications and objects to them with objections, if any, or proceeds to advertise the applications in the trademark journal. In case of objections, the applicant is given an.opportunity to respond to the objections and try and overcome the same. If successful, the applications move to advertisement or else get abandoned.

Once advertised, any third party may oppose the applications within 4 months from.the date of advertisement. If an opposition is filed, the relevant applicant would have to file its counter against the opposition.followed by filing of evidence by both parties and oral hearings based on which the registrars passes an order in favour or against the applicant. Such an order is appealable before the appellate tribunal.

In case no opposition is filed with the stipulated 4 month time period, the application will proceed to registration.

Lastly, a registration has to be renewed every ten years or else it gets lapsed.

Hope the above brief is helpful

Sir

you need to get your trademark symbol registred with the registrar of tradmarks. once you file your trade mark application you are alloted the trademark for your official use but the process is still pending with the registrar.
You are adviced to get a trade mark search report before you apply as it would decrease the chances of rejection.

thank you

first of all you need to coin a trademark and make a search for the search for the availability of the trademark from the data base of the Registry. if the mark is availble then you may apply with Registry.
