USA Trademark Registration

The United States of America (USA) is one of the most coveted markets in the world, and we applaud you for considering expanding your business there! Your first step is to protect your brand in the U.S.; you must know what the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is and how to get your trademark registered.

What is a Trademark?

Following the Indian Trademarks Act of 1999 (Section 2(zb)), a trademark is a distinctive marker that distinguishes products or services from competitors in the market. It encompasses various elements such as symbols, designs, expressions, or any identifiable feature linked to a specific brand. Remarkably, trademarks are open to ownership by individuals, corporations, or legal entities, making them accessible to a broad spectrum of entities and individuals alike.

Why Should You Register Your Trademark?

Trademark registration in India protects your rights to use the mark in association with your goods or services. It offers a robust shield against infringement, empowering you to take legal action against unauthorized trademark use. Upon successful trademark or brand name registration, your trademark remains valid for ten years from the filing date, with the option to renew it indefinitely.
