Register Your Brand in Pune
Pune brands range from SaaS products and EV startups to auto component manufacturers, educational institutes, cafés and bakeries. Whatever the business, the brand you build is only protected once the name or logo is registered, and Pune's crowded startup and food scenes mean similar names come up often. A registered mark lets you stop copycats, makes your brand an asset investors can value, and a filed or registered mark is what marketplace brand registry programmes ask for.
What Can Be Registered
- Brand names and product names
- Logos and labels
- Taglines and slogans
- Distinctive product packaging
Trademark Registration Process
- Search: we check the trademark database for identical and similar marks in your classes and give you a risk view.
- Class selection: we draft a specification that covers what you actually sell, without being so broad that it attracts objections.
- Filing: the TM-A application is filed online and you can use the ™ symbol immediately.
- Examination: the Registry examines the mark; we reply to any objection within the 30-day limit.
- Publication: the mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal for four months so others can oppose it.
- Registration: if there is no opposition, the certificate is issued and you can use the ® symbol.
Documents Required
- Applicant's name, address and PAN; certificate of incorporation for companies and LLPs
- Udyam (MSME) certificate or DPIIT recognition, to qualify for the lower fee
- Logo in JPG format, if registering a logo
- Date of first use, with evidence such as invoices if the mark is already in use
- Signed power of attorney (TM-48) authorising us to file
Choosing the Right Classes
Many applications fail or give weak protection because of class mistakes. As a rough guide for Pune businesses: software products in Classes 9 and 42, IT services in Class 42, education and training in Class 41, restaurants and cafés in Class 43, packaged food in Classes 29 and 30, and online retail in Class 35. We confirm the right classes for your business before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Trade Marks Registry office handles applications from Pune?
Applicants whose principal place of business is in Maharashtra fall under the Mumbai office of the Trade Marks Registry. Filing, examination and most hearings are handled online, so Pune applicants do not need to travel.
What is the government fee for trademark registration?
The official e-filing fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises registered under MSME, and ₹9,000 per class for other applicants.
How long does trademark registration take?
You can use the ™ symbol as soon as the application is filed. If there is no objection or opposition, registration typically takes 8 to 12 months. Objections and oppositions add time.
Which classes should a Pune tech or manufacturing brand file in?
Software products usually need Class 9 and Class 42, IT services Class 42, auto components Class 12 or 7 depending on the part, and restaurants and cafés Class 43. We map your actual products and services to the right classes, and if needed file in more than one.
What happens if my trademark gets an objection?
The examiner's report must be answered within 30 days. We draft a written reply with arguments and evidence of use, and represent you at the hearing if one is scheduled.
How long is a trademark valid?
A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the application date and can be renewed every 10 years indefinitely.
