When there is a TM on the brand name or logo, it indicates that the trademark application has been filed and the registration is under process. An applicant can use the TM beside his brand name or logo once the application is filed. He can use it until the registration is done. After completion of registration, the TM gets replaced by ® which means the trademark registration is completed and it is valid for 10 years.
For trademark registration, you need to pay Rs. 9000/- as Government fees. But if you own a MSME/SSI/Udyog Aadhar certificate, this Government fee is reduced to 50%.
A trademark is any mark, logo, name, symbol, letter, figure, or word used by any individual or firm to uniquely identify its goods or services from those made or sold by others. As a result, clients must be able to differentiate one's goods or services from those of others. The requirements of the Trade Marks Act 1999 regulate trademark registration. Trademark registration is vital because the government legally authorises it to grant the owner exclusive rights to the brand, sale, manufacture, and use of products and services.
In India, anybody who claims to be the trademark owner, whether an individual, proprietor, corporation or other legal organisation, can apply for a trademark. The trademark application can be filed, and the "TM" sign can be used within a few days post registration following registration. The Trade Mark Registry takes a minimum 6-8 months to register if there's no objection raised by the Registry. In case of an objection, it might take up to 18 months. After the trademark is registered and the registration certificate is issued, the registered symbol i.e. R, can be used. Once a trademark registration is done, it will be valid for ten years from the registration date and has to be renewed at the due time.
An individual person who is not currently in business can also file a trademark application and receive trademark registration for the brand name/device) that the applicant intends to use in the future.
A Firm’s joint proprietors can apply for a trademark together, and both of their names may be listed in the application.
When registering a trademark, a partnership business with a maximum of 10 members must include all partners' names in the application. In addition, if a minor partner is present, the name of the minor's guardian must be stated.
The application for the Limited Liability Partnership should be in the name of the LLP. It is a legal entity in which each participant has their own identity. Because the trademark belongs to the LLP, the partners cannot be applicants. The application must contain all the partners' names.
Any Indian firm, whether private limited, public limited, or any other type, must file a trademark application in its name. Because every incorporated organisation has its own legal body and identity, the director of a company cannot be a trademark applicant.
If a foreign-incorporated firm files for a trademark in India, it must do so under the corporate name as it is registered in the foreign nation. The registration type, the government, and the law should all be indicated here. It must mention the Indian address from which they are running their business in INDIA.
When filing a trademark application on behalf of a trust or society, the managing trustee, chairman, or secretary of the trust or society must be mentioned.
The following are the kinds of trademark registration available in India-
A service mark is comparable to a product mark representing a service rather than a product. The primary function of a service mark is to differentiate its proprietors from the owners of other benefits. Accordingly, trademark applications submitted under trademark classes 35-45 may be classified as service marks since they represent a service.
These are the marks that have been registered for usage before or after a chain of items that share a similar suffix, prefix, or symbol.
A sound mark is a sound that may be connected to a product or service that originates from a certain provider. Sound logos, often known as audio mnemonics, appear at the beginning and end of ads.
The importance of trademark registration in India is as follows:
The registered trademark owner has complete control over it. The owner may use the same trademark for all other items that fall within the designated class(es) in the application. Furthermore, the proprietor owns the trademark and can prohibit others from using it in the class(es) in which it is registered. It also gives the owner the ability to sue for any unauthorised violation.
Trademarks signify a product's or service's reputation and quality. Registering a trademark increases client confidence and recognition in the market. Furthermore, it contributes to the establishment of loyal and long-term customers who will continually choose your trademarked brand over others.
Customers can quickly locate your items if you register your trademark. It separates your goods or service from the competition while acting as an efficient advertising tool. Furthermore, your trademark or logo communicates your organisation's vision, quality, and uniqueness.
Trademark registration provides physical confirmation of the value and quality of your product or service. As a result, customers identify the quality of a service or product with the trademark. Moreover, this awareness benefits acquiring new clients who unwittingly identify a product or service's quality through its logo.
The registration of a trademark grants a corporation intellectual property. A registered trademark is a legal right that may be purchased, assigned, franchised, or economically contracted. Furthermore, a trademark functions as an intangible asset on a company's financial sheet, providing all of the benefits associated with such assets.
When your trademark is registered, you may use the ® sign in your logo to show that it is a registered trademark & that no one else may use a similar brand. If another individual uses your trademark without your permission, you can sue in court for such obvious infringement of your exclusive usage rights.
If someone uses a trademark without the owner's permission or in a deceptive manner, the owner can get an injunction to prevent the individual from using the brand without permission. In addition, your trademarked logo may not be used by anyone else, including rivals.
Trademark registration is inexpensive and helps your organisation to keep a distinct identity. In addition, online trademark registration is simple & inexpensive to keep up with. Similarly, when registering a trademark, you must pay the protection charge & the renewal price, which is due every ten years.
If you wish to grow outside of India or just register a trademark in another country, don't be concerned; a trademark that has previously been registered in India may serve as a strong basis for gaining worldwide recognition. Furthermore, because of all the goodwill accumulated, a trademark that has previously been registered in India can be utilised as the foundation for registration in another nation.
Popular businesses have a reputation for recruiting young talent. Furthermore, young brains prefer to work for major firms since they provide better benefits and salary security. In addition, trademark registration provides a favourable image of a company. Furthermore, this reduces the cost of recruiting and other associated activities.
The trademark registry was founded in 1940, followed by the Trademark Act in 1999. Currently, the trademark registry serves as the Act's operational or functional body. It can also be stated to be functioning concurrently. As a functioning entity, the trademark registry administers all of the laws and regulations of the Indian trademark Act.
The trademark registry's headquarters are in Mumbai, with branch offices in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Kolkata. When registering a trademark, it is first registered under the Trademark Act of 1999, and then it is registered with the trademark registrar. Before registering a trade mark, the registrar will verify to see if it fits all of the Act's requirements.
There are 45 trademark classes, and all goods and services are classified according to these classes. You must exercise extreme caution while selecting the classes since they will affect the validity of your trademark for your company's products/services. If your company sells various goods and services that fall into several classes, you must guarantee that you may file for a trademark under all of the appropriate classes.
In India, some of the most common trademark classes are:
There are some steps involved in the plan of trademark registration-
The registered trademark owner has complete control over it. The owner may use the same trademark for all other items that fall within the designated class(es) in the application. Furthermore, the proprietor owns the trademark and can prohibit others from using it in the class(es) in which it is registered. It also gives the owner the ability to sue for any unauthorised violation.
Trademarks signify a product's or service's reputation and quality. Registering a trademark increases client confidence and recognition in the market. Furthermore, it contributes to the establishment of loyal and long-term customers who will continually choose your trademarked brand over others.
Remember to select a unique and distinct mark to represent your organisation. Another critical aspect is determining which class you belong to. There are now 45 kinds of products and services for which a trademark can be registered. Classifications 1–34 are for products, whereas classes 35–45 are for services.
Once you've decided on a mark, you should run a search to see if it's comparable to an already registered mark. You may do this yourself by visiting the Controller General's website for Patents, Designs, and Trademarks. A public search option is available on the website. After selecting this option, you must select your class and search the online database.
You can file a single application for several classes, series, or collective trademarks. Form TM-A must be completed for this. This form allows you to register your trademark in more than one class. This form has two distinct cost brackets:
The Vienna Categorisation, often known as the Vienna Codification, is an international classification of trademark sign components created by the Vienna Agreement (1973). Following the Trademark registration application filing, the Trademark Registrar will file the Vienna classification to the Trademark established on the marks' figurative components. Accordingly, the trademark application status is normally indicated as "Sent to Vienna Codification" while this work is being done.
The online procedure of trademark registration involves the following steps:
Choosing a different and offbeat brand name is a sensible choice because most generic names are already in the hands of someone. Furthermore, settling on a name necessitates a rapid research procedure to guarantee that you are not selecting a brand name that is already in use. The best thing is that you may develop a distinctive brand name by inventing or coining some phrases and combining them with generic terms.
The following supporting papers must be presented with the application for online trademark registration:
The two methods for filing the registration application are manual filing and e-filing (form TM-A). If you select manual filing, you must personally transport and hand over your application for registration to the Registrar Office of TradeMarks in major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. Following that, you must wait at least 15 -20 days to receive the acknowledgement. In the event of an e-filing system, however, you will immediately obtain your receipt of acknowledgement on the government website.
Once the application is submitted, the Registrar of Trademarks will review it to see if you fulfilled specific requirements and if your brand name fits with current legislation. Furthermore, there must be no similarity (visual or phonetical) of identity with any existing brand which is pending for registration.
Following the examination procedure, if there is no objection raised by the registry (the stipulated time period may vary), the Registrar of Trademarks will accept and publish the brand name in the Indian trademark journal. This is perhaps the most crucial aspect of trademark registration. Within 4 months from the date of publication in the journal, any third party can oppose the instant application if there are any similarities between their brand name and the brand name in question. If within that time period no opposition is filed, the Registrar of Trademarks will issue the Trademark Registration Certificate.
Suppose a third party files an objection within four (time period may vary) months of the trademark's publication in the trademarks journal. In that case, the Registrar of Trademarks will provide you with a copy of the opposition notice. You must respond to the opposition notice within 2 months by filing a counter-statement. If the counter statement is not submitted within two months, the trademark application will be regarded as abandoned and refused. In case of both the Notice of opposition and Counter statement the government fee of Rs. 2700 is to be paid by both the parties while filing.
However, suppose no objection is filed within three months. In that case, this procedure will not apply to you, and your brand name will be accepted for issuing a Trademark Registration Certificate.
This procedure does not apply to you if there is no such trademark opposition in your case.
Suppose a third party contests your trademark, and you respond within two months. In that case, the Registrar of Trademarks will send a receipt of your response to the third party opposing trademark registration.
You and the third party must produce evidence in support of your claims. Following the filing of evidence under Rule 45, the Registrar will hold a hearing for you and the third party. You may submit your evidence under rule 46 or a notice intimating the registry that you will be relying upon the counter statement which has already been filed by you. The Registrar will issue an order accepting or rejecting the trademark application after hearing both parties and examining the facts. If the Registrar of Trademarks accepts your trademark application, he will proceed with the registration procedure.
The Registrar will approve your trademark application if there's no objection being raised within the time period which may vary or on acceptance of your trademark application following a trademark opposition hearing. Wow! And the best moment for you would be when the Registrar issues the Registration Certificate with the Trademark Registry stamp. You can use the registered trademark sign (®) beside your brand name as soon as you get your certificate.
A trademark is a distinct identity that distinguishes your organisation, product, or service from the competition. A registered trademark is the intellectual property/intangible asset of your company. It safeguards your investment in building client trust and loyalty.
Registration of a trademark gives you the ability to sue anybody who attempts to replicate your trademark and prohibits others from using an identical trademark to the one you registered.

We all know today’s world is totally running on online technology, to utilize this online platform and preventing people from moving pillar to post that small town entrepreneur came up with an one stop solution for providing all sort of legal and professional services at their doorstep in the name of FastInfo Legal Services Pvt. Ltd.
A small town boy with a dream in his eyes to reach the sky. Mr Rajesh Kewat who is the Managing Director and Founder of one of the Leading Online Business Sector “FastInfo”.

Online Legal India basically dealing with consultation services on Legal matters, GST filing and Registration, TAX compliance,
IEC Registration, FSSAI Registration, Company Registration, Trademark Registration, Consumer Complaint and many more.
When Online Legal India was flourishing at a higher range, and reaching out the customers for the legal and business compliance with a high outcome, FastInfo had decided to come up with an E- Learning platform to serve the students in both urban and rural areas. He realized there are many students in the rural areas who are lacking in the education due to the lack of proper infrastructure& there are large number of students from distance education or open universities who are not getting enough help from anywhere.
Mr Rajesh Kewat(Founder) who was associated with one of the leading education sector OXFORD for a long time decided to come up with an idea of enhancing his skill in the education sector. Therefore, he came up with an idea of launching an Online Educational Platform and making it accessible throughout the nation which enables LIVE interactive classes between a teacher and a student. He named the same as “FastInfo Class”, this is the online platform to provide education to the students and at the same time providing quality guidance. FastInfo Class provide the online tuition to IGNOU & NIOS bachelors and masters’ student, students appearing for Competitive Examslike Banking Exam including IBPS Exam, Railway Exam (RRB Exam), UPSC CSE etc and also provide helps for co-curricular courses.
Like this, FastInfo is growing towards the achievement to become the India’s largest online platform for e- commerce sectors. FastInfo is yet to come up with many more projects in upcoming future like FastInfo Tech which is going to be launched very soon for the IT sector.
The story of Rajesh Kewat, a simple man from the small town of West Bengal, might seem like a run of the mill rags to riches story, but it is so much more:
We come across many rags to riches stories in a lifetime. Most of the stories are about an individual toiling hard to become significant in the world. The story of Rajesh Kewat, a simple man from the small town of Dinhata, West Bengal, might seem like a run of the mill rags to riches story, but it is much more. It is a story of a hardworking man who has managed to turn his fortunes and is now dedicated to simplifying the lives of those around him. Rajesh Kewat, a Masters in Computer Application is the Managing Director of FastInfo Legal Services Pvt. Ltd.
FastInfo Legal Services, formerly known as True Consultants was initially a platform for online RTI applications. The existence of an online portal for the same bridged the gap between the citizens and their right to question. The platform helped the citizens’ voices reach the correct places at a menial cost, affordable to all.
Online Legal India, another venture of Rajesh Kewat also enables easier procedures for GST Filing & Registration, Company Registration, Trade Mark Registration, and many more. It is a boon for small scale businesses as well, as it helps with formalities like business registrations & compliances.
Rajesh Kewat has been unstoppable once he realized the potential of simplifying lives with the help of the digital platform. He also started the FastInfo Classes that are not just online tutorials available for school students; it also has classes for competitive exams. There are multiple distance learning courses that are available on the platform. Many realize the positive and significant change that one can bring around, but only a few take a leap of faith and work to create that change.
Rajesh Kewat had been through the worst phase of his life in 2017, when he lost everything he had, to the point of being financially broke. But, it is his perseverance and confidence that helped him take back his worth and be a much stronger individual. He is a fine example to prove that to run a business, all one needs is the will to work hard and a sharp mind to make the right decisions.
A man of dreams and conviction, he shows in action how to never stop dreaming
Rajesh is a small-town entrepreneur, who just three years back had seen the whole of his life, crippling in front of his eyes as he fought with the world for his love. He lost his job, assets, and all his money to save his love and the phase was obviously very painful for him. This unknown storm had left him with no belongings but he was not yet completely broken. He carried in him a stunning spirit to fight back, get up, and create a beautiful future for himself.
From there on, he started building his own ladder to success without any financial support & only with blessing of those special people who blessed him in that tough time. He turned his venture FastInfo Legal Services Pvt Ltd into a profit-churning enterprise in no time and today boasts of a wide clientele and hundreds of positive testimonials.
Rajesh was born in Dinhata in 1985, in a lower-middle-class family. His father was an Assistant Manager at a petrol pump back then. His schooling was at Stationpara Saranarthi High School and then he pursued his Bachelor of Computer Applications from IGNOU followed by his Master of Computer Application from Punjab Technical University.
Being entrepreneurial in nature with a vision to support the greater good of society, he started working as an RTI activist while still studying, helping to educate people and supporting them in crucial matters.
His professional career began with a job at Lalani Computer Academy where he worked as a marketing executive for a humble pay of Rs. 2000 per month. For the next twelve years, he worked across a number of small firms, including Brainware Computer Academy, FirstSource Solution Limited, and took on the role of a teacher at Brahmani Chowki High School. Then he joined Educomp Solution Limited, Pearson India Education Services Pvt Ltd followed by Oxford as a Consultant.
Even while he was making his professional career, the idea of serving society never left him. His decade-long experience as an RTI activist prompted him to do something bigger to help the people. So, he came up with an online platform under the head of True Consultant to file RTI applications, which is open to everyone who wants to exercise their right by filing their RTI application at a very nominal charge.
While implementing these businesses, he came up with a new innovative online platform for the education sector named FastInfo Class.
This focused on Distance Education and online tutorial for the preparation of competitive exams as there were lagging with systematic tutorial classes and study centre through www.fastinfoclass.com.
Rajesh Kewat, Founder and Managing Director of the FastInfo Legal Services Pvt. Ltd. was awarded “Businessman of the Year” by renowned Bollywood actress Malaika Arora at the first edition of the National Fame Awards 2022 presented by Brands Impact in a ceremony held at one of the most opulent hotels, Vivanta New Delhi, Dwarka.
India’s top branding company Brands Impact organized the first edition of the National Fame Awards aiming to recognize the efforts and dedication of individuals and companies that have risen to fame and have nationwide supporters/ clientele, owing to their talent and contributions to various industries.
Congratulating Mr. Kewat, Amol Monga, Founder and Director of Brands Impact said “It is a matter for pride to be honouring people like Mr. Kewat who inspire thousands of budding entrepreneurs and businessmen who wish to make it big just like him. I wish him even greater heights of success and prosperity for future"
A man with humble beginnings, Mr Rajesh Kewat is the Founder and Managing Director of FastInfo Legal Services Pvt. Ltd. He grew up in a small town named Dinhata in the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal. As it's said that adversity is a great teacher and Mr. Kewat definitely learned a lot from his days of struggle. To help run their household, he started working at a young age.
On receiving the award, Mr. Kewat said, “This is a very proud moment for me, I want to dedicate this award to each and every member of the FastInfo group, my family members and all my well-wishers without whose support, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to stand on this stage today. I might be present here today physically, receiving this award but there are hardworks of many people behind this achievement. I would also like to thank Ms. Malaika for presenting me with the award.”
He wanted to achieve big things in life and knew becoming a businessman was one way to do so. People often think that a huge investment is needed to start a business. Yet, Mr. Kewat proved everyone wrong by starting his business with only an investment of rupees 1000 and today owns a group of companies with a turnover of crores. His group of companies comprises of six brands namely Online Legal India, FastInfo Class, Online RTI Application, Innovative Bharat, OnlyDesi, and Online Class India. As per his beliefs, anyone with a passion for business can become an entrepreneur and he always derives utmost satisfaction in encouraging the youth of the country. Mr Kewat believes, “You don’t need money to build your business empire, what you need is big dreams and a sharp mind! If you got it, try it.”
An ardent social worker, he has always found a way to give back to society, be it through filing RTI applications for free as a teen to launching his own websites like Online Legal India for legal advice, and FastInfo Class for Online Spoken English classes at an affordable fee of rupees 299/month. Inspiration for this is deeply embedded in his own experiences. As a child, due to challenging financial conditions, he had to transfer from an English-medium school to Bengali- medium and from then he has faced firsthand problems arising due to the lack of fluency in spoken English. To help people from tier three cities overcome this problem he is on his newfound mission to provide Spoken English and overall personality development classes by opening up centers starting with his district Coochbehar.
Recently, he launched the Online RTI Application website absolutely free for the public to obtain expert advice on RTI filing. His main goal has always been to bridge the gap between affordability and accessibility.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and for Mr Rajesh Kewat this is just the beginning of his journey. He will always find ways to help society and encourage entrepreneurship among the youth of India!

Trademark is an intellectual property consisting of recognizable sign or design in order to identify products or services from a specific source, although trademarks that are used to identify services are called service marks.
