What to do about “Not active”: yourself, or with an expert
The government fee is the same either way. Here is exactly what the portal asks for, and what an expert would do differently.
Do it yourself · ipindiaonline.gov.in
File again, or seek review / appeal if there is still time
You need
- Class 3 DSC of the applicant (or authorised signatory) and your portal login.
- The order or status history showing why the application ended (abandoned, refused, withdrawn).
On the portal
- Find the reason in the documents: missed reply, refusal after hearing, withdrawal or removal for non-renewal.
- If a decision was wrong or a deadline was missed for a good reason, file TM-M for review within a month; a refusal after hearing can be appealed to the High Court within three months.
- Otherwise, run a new search (the cited marks may still be there) and file a fresh TM-A, possibly with a changed mark or class.
Where people slip
- Filing the same mark again without fixing what caused the refusal.
- Missing the short review and appeal windows.

Should you file yourself or use an expert?Six honest differences, and when DIY is fine
YourselfWith an expert
Search and the go/no-go callYourself: The free search here finds spelling and sound-alikes. Logos, related classes and prefixes/suffixes need a manual look, and the call on 'file or change the name' is yours.Expert: Checks devices and related classes too, and tells you before you pay the fee whether to file, tweak the name, or pick another class. A refused filing costs the full government fee.
Class and the goods/services wordingYourself: The description cannot be widened after filing. Too narrow leaves gaps; too broad invites objections and oppositions. Wrong class means filing again and paying again.Expert: Writes the specification to cover what you sell now and will sell, in the classes that matter, in the wording examiners accept.
Fee category and proofYourself: Filing as a startup or MSME without the certificate draws a deficit-fee notice and delays examination.Expert: Gets the Udyam or startup proof in order first so the ₹4,500 fee holds.
Examination report (about 4 in 10 applications get one)Yourself: The reply is a legal argument: why the mark is distinctive (Section 9) or not confusingly similar to the marks cited (Section 11), with evidence and case references. 30 days, no extension to count on. A weak reply leads to a hearing or refusal.Expert: Drafts the reply to each objection with precedent and your evidence of use; knows when a consent letter or a small change saves the application.
Hearings and oppositionsYourself: Hearings are argued live (video). Oppositions run through pleadings and two evidence rounds with 2-month deadlines; one missed step and the application is abandoned.Expert: Appears for you, files on time, and advises whether to fight, settle or withdraw before more money goes in.
Deadlines over the 12 to 24 monthsYourself: You watch the status yourself: reply in 30 days, opposition window 4 months, counter-statement 2 months, renewal every 10 years. Most dead applications died of a missed date, not a bad mark.Expert: Tracks every date and tells you only when something needs a decision.
Doing it yourself is reasonable when
- It is a plain word mark (no logo) in one class.
- The search shows no identical or sound-alike live mark in that class.
- You have, or will get, a Class 3 DSC and are comfortable with online forms.
- You can describe your goods or services precisely and will check the status every month for a year or two.
What it costs either way
- Government fee: the same whoever files (₹4,500 or ₹9,000 per class).
- Yourself: plus a DSC (about ₹1,000 to ₹1,500) and your time.
- With Invorn: a professional fee on top of the government fee, shown on the fee table. Free consultation first; if you are not happy before the application is submitted, the fee is refunded.
Invorn: search + filing from ₹1,299 + govt fee · objection reply ₹1,949 (no govt fee). Full fee table.
