TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IN AGRA | CALL 7060840732
1. The First step in TRADEMARK REGISTRATION is choosing the class among 45 classes of Trademark.
In this we have to first select the class under which our product or service comes.
For Example If our Product is Footwear then the Class applicable will be Class 25 because in 45 classes, class number 25 is applicable on Footwear, Clothing.
Thus if a person wants to trademark his Footwear Brand then first class 25 will be applicable on his product.
2. Search in class whether proposed Brand Name is available or Not
The next step is to search whether the proposed Brand Name is available or not. It means If the proposed Brand name for example is KIO, then at IPR website first we need to check that KIO is registered in class 25 already or not?
If KIO is not applied or registered, then we can proceed for TRADEMARK REGISTRATION in class 25.
This step is also very important because if we apply without first conducting search at IPR website, then al lot of possibility is there that a person can apply a similar brand already on record. And later the application might come under objection by the Registrar of Trademark.
