RGV Trademark Registration

A trademark is a vital form of intellectual property encompassing various elements like words, symbols, logos, or even sounds. It serves to distinguish the offerings of an individual or business from others. While many focus on logo or name registration, a registered trademark becomes a valuable intangible asset, acting as a shield for the unique identity it represents.

In India, the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks, under the Ministry of Industries and Commerce, oversees trademark registration through the Trademark Act, 1999. Once registered, the symbol 'R' can be affixed to the trademark, providing a 10-year protective tenure from the registration date. While acquiring a trademark takes around 3 days, obtaining the 'R' symbol may extend the process to approximately 2 years. This registration not only safeguards the identity but also adds a distinctive mark to a business's assets, ensuring a recognized and protected brand presence.
