Trademark Registration 2026: Complete Process Step By Step
Trademark Registration 2026 – Overview
Trademark registration is the most effective way to legally protect your brand name, logo, tagline or product label in India. A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights to use the mark and restricts others from copying or misusing your brand identity.
In 2026, the process of trademark registration in India is completely online through the IP India portal. Once your mark is registered, you can use the ® symbol and build long-term value for your business, startup or NGO.
Benefits of Trademark Registration
- Exclusive brand rights: You get the legal right to use the mark for specific goods or services across India.
- Brand protection: Helps you take action against misuse, counterfeits or look-alike brands.
- Business credibility: Registered marks build trust with customers, investors and partners.
- Asset creation: A trademark is an intangible asset that can be licensed, franchised or even sold.
- Global expansion support: Indian registration is helpful while applying for international protection under Madrid Protocol.

- Publication in Journal: Once accepted, the mark is published in the Trademark Journal for a 4-month opposition period.

- Registration & Certificate: In the absence of successful opposition, the mark proceeds to registration and you receive the certificate, allowing you to use the ® symbol.
