Global Trademark Registration
Protect your brand name, logo, and slogan across the markets you operate in. We file trademarks in India and internationally, through national offices and the Madrid Protocol, handled by IP professionals. Fixed fees, clear timelines.
Tell us your brand name and the countries you want to protect it in. An IP professional will assess the marks, run a preliminary check, and respond with a precise quote and timeline. No obligation, no automated replies.
A trademark is the legal right to your brand identity, your name, logo, tagline, or a combination, for the goods and services you sell. The single most important thing to understand about trademarks is that they are territorial: a registration in India protects you in India, not in the United States, the United Kingdom, the UAE, or anywhere else. If you sell, ship, or build a brand across borders, you need protection in each market that matters.
There are two broad routes to global protection. You can file nationally, applying directly in each country through its trademark office, which gives you the most control and is often best for a small number of specific markets. Or you can use the Madrid Protocol, an international system administered by WIPO that lets you file one application, in one language, to seek protection across more than 120 member countries, based on a home application or registration. The right route depends on how many countries you need, where they are, and your budget.
Across either route, the fundamentals are the same: a clearance search to check the mark is available, correct classification under the Nice Classification of goods and services, a properly drafted application, and a response to any objection or opposition the examiner or third parties raise. We handle all of it. We provide trademark registration in India and international filing, with fixed fees and clear timelines.
Select a country or region to see how filing works there and what is typically involved.
The same core steps apply in most countries, national filing or Madrid.
We search existing marks in each target country to check yours is available and flag conflicts before you spend on filing.
Your goods and services are classified under the Nice Classification. The right classes decide the scope of your protection.
We advise national filing, the Madrid Protocol, or a mix, based on your countries, budget, and timeline.
We prepare and file the applications, in each national office or through WIPO for Madrid, with the correct specifications.
Each office examines the mark. We respond to objections, office actions, or oppositions where they arise.
Once accepted, the mark registers, typically for ten years, renewable. We track deadlines so protection does not lapse.
You apply directly in each country’s trademark office. This gives you maximum control, lets you tailor the application to local practice, and can be the most cost-effective when you only need a few specific markets. It is also the route for countries that are not part of the Madrid system.
One application through WIPO, based on your home filing, can seek protection in more than 120 member countries. It is efficient when you need several markets at once, simplifies renewals into a single international registration, and is usually more economical at scale. The trade-off is that for the first five years the international registration depends on your home application, if that home mark is refused or cancelled, the international one can fall with it, known as a central attack.
For two or three markets, national filing is often simpler and cheaper. For a wider rollout across many countries, Madrid usually wins on cost and administration. We map your target markets against your budget and growth plan and recommend the route, or the combination, that protects you best.

The legal right to use your mark for your goods and services in that country, and to stop others using a confusingly similar mark.
A registered mark is the foundation for cease-and-desist notices, opposition, takedowns on online marketplaces, and infringement action.
A trademark is property. It can be licensed, franchised, assigned, or valued as part of your business, and investors expect to see it in diligence.
The registered symbol signals that your brand is protected, which matters when you raise money, expand, or sell across borders.
