How to register a trademark in India
A 6-step walkthrough — search, pick your class, check conflicts, estimate the fee, file Form TM-A on IP India, and track every deadline that follows.

What copyright protects, the Copyright Office process and Form XIV, fees, the 30-day objection window, and how to file it yourself.
How to register a patent in India
The full journey — prior-art search, provisional vs complete spec, drafting the claims, filing the forms and fees, the 48-month examination window, and tracking every deadline to grant.
Filing a patent? Our patent registration guide walks the whole process — but the specification and claims are the one part to draft with a registered patent agent. Check novelty first with the patentability checker, and Novipra tracks every annuity and RFE date once it's filed.
