Our Process
- IP Assessment – We review your brand, creative work, or invention to assess protectability.
- Search & Due Diligence – A search is conducted to check for conflicting or prior registrations.
- Application Preparation & Filing – We prepare and file the necessary application with the appropriate authority.
- Prosecution & Objection Handling – We respond to examination reports, objections, or oppositions as they arise.
- Registration & Portfolio Management – Once registered, we assist with renewals, licensing, and enforcement.
Estimated Timeline
Search and assessment: 3–5 working days. Application filing: 5–10 working days. Final registration, such as for a trademark, copyright, or design, typically takes 6 months to 2+ years depending on the authority and any objections, though filing itself secures an early priority date.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How long does trademark or copyright registration take?
A: Filing can be completed within days, but final registration may take anywhere from several months to a couple of years depending on objections and government processing time.
- Q: Does filing give me any protection before registration is granted?
A: Yes, filing establishes a priority date and, in the case of trademarks, allows use of certain statutory rights while the application is pending.
- Q: Can you assist with IP protection outside India?
A: We can guide you on international filing routes and coordinate with associates where cross-border protection is required.
