5 Things To Consider Before Registering Trademark

1. The trademark should be unique

 At first, you have a complete search report of what you have planned to trademark a design, logo, word, etc. Through this searching, it will help you to determine whether the brand name or any other marks chosen by you is unique or not. When there is a unique trademark identity, you will be convenient to register it. If you don’t look at the search report, you will face problems to clear the application. 

 2. The trademark should be catchy

 The trademark should notify your business. It should not be a common one because generic and common names are not easy to protect. Even Though a small resemblance to any existing trademarked brand in your idea may cause a hurdle for your application.

 3. Pick up an appropriate class

 The Indian Government has distinguished all the goods and services under 45 categories, which are called classes. The trademark should be searched based on the class so that you have to be more aware of what class you have to pick. If your business seems to be in multiple classes, you need to register the trademark under multiple classes.

 4. Invest in Strong Trademarks

 After registering a trademark, you will invest a lot of money to make the trademark accessible. If your trademark is not stable, you will have trouble with no benefits.

 5. User Date is essential and future expansion

 In case you have been using the trademark for a long time, you must mention the user date in the application. If a trademark is filed by two or more applicants, the applicant who claims the earlier user date gets more priority over the others.
