Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trademark registration take?

Trademark registration in India typically takes 12–18 months from filing, depending on objections and opposition proceedings. We manage the entire process to minimise delays.

Can you help if someone is using my trademark?

Yes. We issue cease-and-desist notices, file infringement suits, and pursue all available remedies to stop unauthorised use and recover damages.

Do I need to register my copyright?

Copyright arises automatically upon creation, but registration provides stronger evidentiary support in disputes and enables statutory damages. We advise on the best approach for your works.
