How trademark fees work in India
Trademark fees in India are fixed by the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 and charged per class, per mark. There are two tiers: a concessional rate for individuals, startups, and small enterprises (₹4,500 per class online) and a standard rate for companies and other entities (₹9,000 per class online). Filing online (e-filing) is 10% cheaper than filing physically at the Registry.
Because the fee is per class, a multi-class application multiplies the cost — a brand filed in Class 25 (clothing) and Class 35 (retail) pays for two classes. Choosing the right trademark classes up front avoids both over-filing and gaps in protection.
A registered trademark lasts 10 years from the application date and is renewable indefinitely. Renewal (Form TM-R) costs ₹9,000 per class online. Renew before expiry: a late renewal carries a surcharge, and prolonged non-renewal can get the mark removed from the register. Track your renewal with the IP deadline calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to register a trademark in India?
The government fee is ₹4,500 per class for an individual, startup, or small enterprise filing online (₹5,000 if filed physically), and ₹9,000 per class for companies and other applicants online (₹10,000 physically). These are statutory fees under the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 and exclude any professional/attorney charges.
Is the trademark fee per class?
Yes. The fee is charged per class, per mark. A single brand filed in three classes pays three times the per-class fee, even though it's one application. Use the calculator to total your classes.
What is the trademark renewal fee in India?
Renewal (Form TM-R) costs ₹9,000 per class for e-filing and ₹10,000 per class for physical filing, for all applicant types. Renewal is due 10 years from the application date. Renewing late (after expiry) attracts an additional surcharge.
Who qualifies for the lower individual/startup fee?
Individuals, recognised startups (with DPIIT recognition), and small enterprises/MSMEs qualify for the lower ₹4,500-per-class tier. Companies, LLPs, partnerships, and other entities pay the standard ₹9,000-per-class tier.
Does this include lawyer or agent fees?
No. The calculator shows only the official government fee payable to the Trade Marks Registry. If you engage a trademark attorney or agent, their professional fee is separate and varies.
Is e-filing cheaper than physical filing?
Yes. Online e-filing is set 10% lower than physical filing at the Trade Marks office — for example ₹4,500 vs ₹5,000 per class for an individual. The calculator shows your e-filing savings.
