works ## Three steps to a India registration. 1 ### Run a free attorney check Tell us your brand. A Indian-experienced attorney searches the IP India register and tells you, plainly, whether you are clear to file. 2 ### We file with the IP India We draft your goods and services, classify them under Nice, and file your application directly with the IP India as your representative of record. 3 ### Watched through to registration We monitor examination and the opposition window and answer objections, then your mark registers across India. What it costs ## One flat fee, every cost shown up front. A transparent attorney fee, the IP India's government fee passed through at cost, and a clear total before you pay. Your India filing $70 + INR 4,725 1 attorney fee + IP India fee for 1 class · changes as you add classes $70 attorney · INR 4,500 IP India at cost · INR 225 bank fee (5% of the IP India fee) Rate shown is for individual applicants, domestic or foreign. Companies and other entities: $100 attorney fee + INR 9,000 government fee per class. Recognised startups, MSMEs, and qualifying foreign startups pay the lower government fee; we confirm it with documents before filing.

Here is what to expect. 1. Days 1–3 ### Clearance search We run a IP India prior-rights search, and an attorney reads your odds before you commit a fee. 2. Week 1 ### Filed at the IP India We draft, classify under Nice, and file your application as your representative of record. 3. After filing ### Examined & published The IP India examines your mark on absolute grounds and publishes it for the opposition window. 4. On acceptance ### Registered With no opposition, your India trademark registers and the certificate issues. 5. Every 10 years ### Renewal tracked We track the renewal deadline so your protection never lapses.
