Spending money on branding before a trademark search is gambling. Our comprehensive search checks the Registry database for phonetic and visual similarities to ensure your brand name is safe to launch. At Online Vakil & CA, we treat Intellectual Property as a financial instrument, not just a legal certificate.
Our specialized IP Team includes Attorneys, Patent Agents, and Technical Experts who understand protection strategies across industries:
IP is an intangible asset that sits on your Balance Sheet. It adds valuation to your company.
We drill down into the specifics:
Expert handling for maximum protection.
Navigating the complex technical norms.
Ensuring full legal compliance and future-proofing.
A simple Google search isn't enough. The Registry looks for 'confusingly similar' marks. 'Nike' and 'Nikey' are legally identical. We produce a detailed Search Report with a 'Probability of Success' score.
Intellectual Property protection is a marathon, not a sprint. Understanding the stages prevents panic when objections arise.
We conduct a 360-degree search (Vienna Code for logos) to ensure your IP is unique. Faulty search = Rejection.
The Registry examines the application. If they find Similar Marks (Section 11) or Descriptive issues (Section 9), they issue an Examination Report.
If accepted, it's published in the Journal for 4 months. This is the 'Opposition Period' where third parties can object.
If no opposition, you get the Certificate. It is valid for 10 years (Trademark) or 20 years (Patent) and is renewable.
Registration is useless if not enforced. If you see someone copying your brand/tech, you must act.
Our Approach: We start with a 'Cease and Desist' notice. In 90% of cases, the infringer stops. If not, we move the Commercial Courts for permanent injunction and damages.
Objections are common (nearly 60% of cases). It essentially means the Examiner needs clarification. We file a legal reply (Form TM-M or response to FER for patents) citing case laws. We have a high success rate in overturning objections at the reply stage itself.
Trademark: Valid for 10 years indefinitely renewable.
Copyright: Lifetime of author + 60 years.
Patent: 20 years, non-renewable (enters public domain). We manage the renewal calendar for you so you never lose rights due to lapsed fees.
No. IP rights are territorial. Evaluation in India protects you only in India. However, we can use your Indian application as a basis to file for International Protection via the WIPO Madrid System (for Trademarks) or PCT (for Patents), covering 120+ countries.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just expert service.
