REGISTRATION OF TRADE MARKS :

The process whereby a trade mark is entered on the register of the trade marks is referred to as registration.

Any person, claiming to be the proprietor of a trade mark used or proposed to be used by him, can apply for registration of a trade mark to the Trade Mark Registry under whose jurisdiction, the principal place of the business of the applicant falls, in the prescribed manner for the registration of his trade mark. In case of a company about to be formed, anyone may apply in his name for subsequent assignment of the registration in the company’s favour.

The provisions contained in Rules 25 to 31 and 33 to 36 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2002 prescribe the procedure for application of trade marks.
