How to Do a Trademark Search in India?

Got a name or logo for your brand? Make sure it's not already taken by doing a trademark search before filing.

Why Trademark Search Is Important

• Prevents legal disputes.

• Saves filing costs if the mark is already registered.

• Helps you choose a unique identity for your business.

How to Search for Trademarks

1. Visit the IP India Trademark Public Search Portal: https://tmrsearch.ipindia.gov.in/tmrpublicsearch/

2. Choose the Right Class: Use the Nice Classification (1–45) based on your product/service category.

3. Search by Wordmark: Enter the exact or similar name of your brand.

4. Review Results: Look for:

   • Similar names

   • Sound-alike words

   • Live or registered status

5. Avoid Conflicts: Even phonetically similar marks can create trouble.
