Common Questions on Intellectual Property Law

How long does trademark registration take in India?

A trademark application typically takes 18–24 months to register if no objections are raised. If opposed, it can take longer. Advocate Pallavi helps navigate the process efficiently and respond to objections promptly.

Can I protect my business name without a registered trademark?

Yes β€” through the common law remedy of 'passing off'. If you have established goodwill in your name, you can sue to prevent others from using a similar name. However, registration gives far stronger protection.

What should I do if someone is copying my logo or brand?

Act quickly. Send a legal notice, and if infringement continues, file an injunction application in court. Advocate Pallavi can assess your case and advise on the fastest route to stopping the infringement.

Does copyright need to be registered in India?

Copyright in India arises automatically upon creation and does not require registration. However, registration creates a public record and is valuable evidence in infringement proceedings.
