Description of goods / services
A registered mark grants exclusive rights across India to use it for the goods or services in its class.
Once registered you may display the (R) symbol, signalling statutory protection and deterring would-be infringers.
Registration lets you sue for infringement and claim injunctions and damages without proving prior reputation each time.
Filing TM-A secures your priority date and lets you use the (TM) symbol while the application is pending.
A trademark is intangible property you can license, franchise, assign, or pledge to raise capital.
