Common questions

What is the government fee to register a trademark in India?

₹4,500 per class for an individual, a DPIIT-recognised startup or a small enterprise with a Udyam certificate; ₹9,000 per class for everyone else. These are e-filing fees; filing on paper costs 10% more.

Is the trademark fee charged per class?

Yes. Filing, renewal and opposition fees are charged for each class. A brand selling clothing (class 25) and bags (class 18) pays twice.

How much does trademark renewal cost?

₹9,000 per class every 10 years if filed on time. Up to 6 months late, a ₹4,500 surcharge per class is added; between 6 and 12 months, restoration costs a further ₹9,000 per class.

How much does it cost to oppose a trademark?

₹2,700 per class for a notice of opposition (Form TM-O), filed within 4 months of the mark appearing in the Trade Marks Journal. The applicant's counter-statement costs the same.
