What Can Be Registered as a Trademark?
Who Can Apply for Trademark Registration?
Any person or business claiming ownership of a mark can apply, subject to applicable law and documentation.
Important Trademark Knowledge
Trademark registration is governed mainly by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and Trade Marks Rules, 2017.
Trademark applications are filed class-wise for goods and services.
Classes 1 to 34 generally cover goods and Classes 35 to 45 generally cover services.
Word mark, logo/device mark, tagline and label marks can be considered based on brand strategy.
™ may generally be used after filing the application. ® should be used only after registration.
Trademark registration is generally valid for 10 years and can be renewed.
Common Trademark Classes in India

Education, coaching, training and entertainment
