Secure your brand name, logo & tagline
File your trademark in 1 day and get exclusive rights to your brand for 10 years.
Overview
A trademark is your brand's legal armour. The moment you file a trademark application — even before the certificate is granted — you can use the ™ symbol and gain priority rights to your name, logo, tagline, or unique product mark. Once registered (typically 12–18 months later), you can use the ® symbol, sue infringers, license your brand to franchisees, and use it as collateral for funding. Without trademark protection, anyone can copy your brand and you have very limited legal recourse.
Trademark registration in India is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM). Marks are registered in 45 different classes — 1 to 34 cover goods, 35 to 45 cover services. Filing in the wrong class is the most common mistake startups make — it makes the registration legally useless for the actual business activity.
RegisterEase begins every trademark engagement with a comprehensive trademark search across the IP India register, common-law unregistered marks, and pending applications. Our IP lawyers then advise you on the right class (or multi-class), draft your TM-A application with the correct user date, file electronically, and pay the government fee on your behalf. You receive your TM number within 24 hours of filing — and can immediately use ™ next to your brand.
After filing, applications go through examination (3–4 months), publication in the Trademark Journal (4 months opposition window), and finally registration. About 25% of all applications receive an examination objection — typically on prior similar marks or descriptiveness. Our package includes one round of objection response. If the registry calls a hearing, our lawyers represent you. Watch out: filing alone doesn't get you registered — defending the application is where most DIY filings fail.
We strongly recommend filing your trademark before you launch your brand publicly. Once your competitors notice the launch, opportunistic filings (cyber-squatting and brand-squatting) become a real risk. Filing also adds significant valuation when you raise funding — investors check trademark status as part of due diligence. Treat your trademark as a Day-1 asset, not a Year-2 chore.

Customer Reviews
Real reviews from 18+ verified founders who registered their Private Limited Company with RegisterEase. From Mumbai to Guwahati, Kolkata to Kochi.
I was honestly tired of agents asking ₹15-20k upfront with no clarity. Paid only ₹2,499 on RegisterEase, my draft MoA and AoA were ready on day 4, and they explained every clause before submitting SPICe+. Incorporation certificate landed on day 16. The transparent state-wise stamp duty calculator was the deciding factor for me.
My co-founder is in Singapore so we needed help with the Apostille for his director documents. The relationship manager handled the entire foreign-director workflow without us chasing. DIN, DSC and PAN/TAN all came together. Will recommend to every founder I meet.
Other portals quoted me ₹9,500 'all-inclusive' and then asked extra for AoA stamp duty. Here the calculator showed me Tamil Nadu stamp duty (₹520) upfront. Final cost matched the quote to the rupee. That's rare in this industry.
Whole process was clean — got name approval in 5 days, MoA review email arrived as promised. The eMudhra DSC was slightly delayed because of the video KYC re-attempt, but support called and resolved it the same evening. 4 stars only because of that one delay, otherwise easily 5.
Stamp duty in Gujarat is on the higher side because of the AoA percentage rule. Their team explained it patiently and even suggested keeping authorised capital at ₹1 lakh to save ~₹2,500. Tiny advice that mattered. Got my COI within 19 days end-to-end.
What sold me was that I paid ₹1,499 upfront and reviewed all the drafts before paying the balance. I made 2 changes to the MoA object clause and they redid it without complaining. This is how every legal service should work.
We are a D2C apparel brand and needed a watertight object clause covering both manufacturing and marketplace sales. The CA spent a full 25 minute call with me drafting it. Two MCA queries were resolved by their team without me even knowing. Incorporation certificate landed in 18 days.
Pro plan was worth the extra ₹1,000. They verified all my docs the same evening I uploaded. Telangana stamp duty was correctly calculated (we have the 0.15% AoA rule). MSME certificate also done as part of the package. Highly professional outfit.
I had zero idea about MCA, SPICe+, INC-32 — all of it. Their executive walked me through every form on a screen-share call. Even helped me pick the right NIC code for my consultancy business. Got the COI in 22 days. Thank you team!
