How to do a trademark search
Search the exact name
Type your brand name and pick the class of your goods or services. Look for marks with the same spelling.
Check similar names
Also look for names that sound alike or look alike, such as "Taxo" and "Taxoo". The Registry treats phonetic similarity as a conflict.
Read the status
A mark that is Registered, Objected, Opposed or Accepted can still block you. Abandoned, Withdrawn or Refused marks usually do not.
File your application
If the name is clear, file the trademark application (TM-A) quickly. Rights in India generally go to the first to file and use.
Name looks clear? Our team can file your trademark registration and handle any objection. Starting a new business? Also check if the company name is available.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a trademark is already registered in India?
Enter the brand name above and press Search. Matching Indian trademarks open in a new tab with their class and status. Confirm on the official IP India public search, and also check similar-sounding names. Or ask for our free expert search report and we will check it for you.
Is this trademark search free?
Yes. The search and the expert search report are both free. You pay only if you decide to file a trademark application with us.
What is a trademark class?
Goods and services are divided into 45 classes under the Nice Classification: classes 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services. A trademark is protected only in the classes it is registered in.
Can I use a brand name if no exact match is found?
Not always. A similar-sounding or similar-looking mark in the same or a related class can still lead to objection or opposition. A professional search checks these phonetic and visual matches.
How long does trademark registration take in India?
You can use the TM symbol soon after filing. If there is no objection or opposition, registration usually takes 12 to 18 months, and it is valid for 10 years from the filing date.
