Overview
What is Logo Trademark Registration?
A logo trademark (a 'device mark') protects the visual representation of your brand — the design, stylisation and any graphic elements. It's distinct from a 'word mark', which protects the name in plain text regardless of styling.
Many brands register both: the word mark protects the name itself, while the logo mark protects the specific design. Which to file first depends on your budget and what's most distinctive about your brand.
We advise on the right strategy, search for conflicts, and file your logo so you can use ™ now and pursue ® for legal enforceability.

FAQs
Logo Trademark Registration — frequently asked questions
What is a logo trademark?
A 'device mark' that protects the visual design of your logo — its stylisation and graphic elements — as distinct from a word mark that protects the name in plain text.
Should I register the logo or the name?
Ideally both. The word mark protects the name itself; the logo mark protects the specific design. Which first depends on budget and what's most distinctive.
How long does logo registration take?
Filing takes days; full registration runs over several months through examination, publication and the opposition window.
Can I use ™ on my logo immediately?
Yes, you can use ™ as soon as you file. The ® symbol is used only after the mark is registered.
What is the government fee?
It depends on applicant type — lower for individuals, startups and MSMEs, higher for others — and is charged per class. We show it separately.
Does a logo registration cover the name too?
Not fully. A logo mark protects the design; to protect the name in any styling, file a separate word mark.
What if my logo changes later?
A significantly changed logo may need a fresh filing to be protected. We advise when a re-file is sensible.
Do I need to renew a logo trademark?
Yes, every 10 years, like any trademark. We track the renewal.
Is registration guaranteed?
No. Acceptance rests with the Registry. A search and proper filing maximise the chance.
