Trademark Registration Cost Calculator

A trademark is a visual symbol, word, phrase, or combination that identifies your business and distinguishes it from competitors. Trademark registration provides exclusive rights to use that mark in India (or internationally) and is critical for protecting brand identity. In India, trademark registration is handled by IP (Intellectual Property) Office under Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. The process involves: application filing, examination by IP office, publication, opposition period, and final registration. IP Office filing fees are ₹4,500 for one class of goods/services (up to 50 items), with ₹1,000 extra per additional class. Professional services (trademark attorneys) charge ₹5,000-20,000 for application filing and prosecution depending on complexity and opposition likelihood. Registration typically takes 18-24 months from filing to approval in India. Total cost averages ₹20,000-40,000 per trademark. International trademark registration (WIPO Madrid system) costs additionally ₹15,000-30,000+ for multiple countries. For brands expanding globally or protecting valuable intellectual property, trademark investment is essential and cost-effective insurance against competitors copying your brand.
