Speaker 1: In this video, we are going to talk about the process of trademark registration and how to file it step-by-step. If you take the help of Trademark Registrar Autonomy, then you will get to know about the cost, fees, and stages of filing the trademark. So guys, you will get to know everything in this video, so do watch the whole video. Also, if you want to take the service of trademark registration at an affordable cost, then I have given the link in the description box, where you can get in touch with our experts. First, let's talk about the requirements of registering a trademark. So first of all, you should know the brand name or logo you want to register in which trademark class. If I talk about the trademark class, then in India, there are 45 classes in the industry. So whichever industry you fall in, for example, if you provide legal services, then you have a class of 45. If you deal in clothing, then you have a class of 25. So guys, first of all, you should know the brand name or logo you want to register in which trademark class. For this, you can register your trademark with or without a logo, so you should have a JPG or PNG file of the logo. For this, you need your digital signature, so you will need a class 3 digital signature. If you go to take it directly from outside, then you will have to pay a heavy cost. So I am going to give you an affordable link in the description box, and we have also created a dedicated video on it. Along with this, you will need your basic KYC, such as PAN card, Aadhaar card, etc. Along with this, if you have a private company, then if you want to reduce the cost of the government fees, then for that, you will also need an industrial certificate. Guys, let's talk about how much cost or fees are going to be charged here. So see, the government fee is 4500 per class. So if you want to register in two classes, then this expense will double for you. Along with this, if you are doing self-filing, then you will also have to bear the cost of DSC. Guys, I would like to give you a super tip for this. If you hire a professional instead of self-filing, then you don't have to create your DSC. So the cost of DSC is saved there. So people want to do self-filing to reduce the cost, but it can cost you a lot. It is better if you hire a professional, then the cost of DSC is also saved. And you only have to pay a small professional fee along with the government fees. Now guys, let's talk about the stages. So see, as soon as your application is filed here, then the first formality check pass is done with you. If your application is absolutely correct, then your formality check pass is done here. Otherwise, you have to do rectification and you have to pay separate fees to the government. Apart from this, guys, the next stage is the mark for the examination. Your application is examined by the verifier. So here you will have two things with you. Either your application is accepted here, it will be published in the journal, and your trademark is registered properly. If you want to give an example, then you can give it in front of the screen. The trademark status is going to be shown to you by this type of register. But let's suppose, if your application is not accepted here, then the government sends you an objection notice. You have to revert it. There is showcase hearing etc. You have to attend the hearing like you have to attend in the court. After that, if the government officers are satisfied here, then you are given the final certificate. Otherwise, the status that you can give in front of the screen is going to be shown to you by this type of objected. Guys, let me take you live and tell you how to register a trademark here. If you want to do self-filing, then you have to be prepared with DSC. I will give this link to you in the description box. So guys, first of all, you have to sign up here. Your proprietor is here in the type of application. After that, if you ask for the code here, you will get a search button on the side. Guys, if you don't have a trademark on your name, then you have to simply put your personal name here.

Because there are only 4 to 5 offices in India where showcase, hearing, etc. Everything is all processing. So your state falls in which zone, it will depend on it here. After that, guys, your legal status is also going to ask you here. So let's say you are a proprietor, then you can put a proprietor here. After that, guys, your address further service comes down. So here you will get your address automatically. If it is not coming, you can also insert it manually. Here you can see your jurisdiction, my Delhi has come here. So whatever your jurisdiction will be, it will show you here. So as I said, there are only 4 to 5 in India. In this, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, New Delhi and Chennai. You are going to get only 5 offices. And they have divided everyone here. So according to all the states of our India, all of them will fall here.

Apart from this, if your mark is in Hindi or English, then this thing is applicable to you. Otherwise, you can skip it. Apart from this, if there are any conditions or limitations, then you can put it here. Otherwise, you have to skip it too. After this, guys, the class of the goods and the services will come. So we have already chosen 36 classes here. And we know that in which class, in which industry, and what I am going to provide here. You have already prepared all those details. So guys, in class 36, you will get the option to edit here. And whatever services you give here related to your brand, you simply have to put the description of the goods and services in class 36. After that, guys, below you will get the statement as to be used or the mark. So if your brand name is new, if you have recently started using it, then you can also use proposed to. If your company is very old, the brand name is also very old, then from the time you are using it, you get the second option. Where you have to tell the dates. Apart from this, guys, if you want to give any important information or instruction, then you can give it here. Otherwise, you simply have to save and resume it. Now guys, on the side, you will get the option of Bottom Candle Attached Documents. So see here, the authorized document, if you are filing it through an attorney, then you have to upload the POA here. Otherwise, you can skip it. If you are doing self-filing etc. Apart from this, guys, if you have a private company, then as I said, you will need a certificate of industry etc. So in that case, if you have a certificate of startup India etc. then you will have to upload it here. Apart from this, guys, you can also upload your normal KYC here in the other document section. Along with this, guys, here you can see the option of preview. As soon as you click on it, you can see in front of the screen. A PDF will be generated here. You will see the fee of 4500 as I told you. Plus, you will see all the details of the application that we have filled up. And you can also take printouts from here. Now guys, as soon as your application is confirmed here, you will get the option of Digital Sign and Submit below. So here your DSC must have already been attached here when you are signing up. So here you have to simply click and submit your application. After submitting, guys, what you have to do here, you will have to come back to your home screen. Here on the side, you will get the option of payment. You will get the option of Ming Payment. So you will get the details of the application that you have submitted here. And by clicking here, you can basically make a payment of 4500 on that application. As soon as you make a payment, you will get this type of receipt, which is generated properly. And in it, your application number is also mentioned here. Now guys, whenever you want to check your status here, that the application has been submitted here, where has my application reached? So for that, you can go here with the Trademark Search. Here you simply have to enter your brand name. So guys, here it will simply show you the status, that what status is it on right now, whether there is an objection or I have been accepted. The rest, guys, if you want to know more details, if there is any notice with my application or not, then you will also get it on the email. Along with this, guys, here you will see the option on the Trademark website. So here you simply have to enter your application number. And guys, as soon as you click on the View button here, then you can see that our entire application opens here. And here you can also see the alert, whether there is any showcase, hearing, notice, etc. Then if you go down, if you want to find out the notice, then here you can see the option of Correspondence and Notice. So as soon as you click on it, guys, you can see this type of examination report, etc. in which your objection will be, and in which section it is, such as section 9, 11, there are such details. Then you have to revert back to the government here. After that, guys, after everything is done, whenever your final certificate issue occurs here, then it also occurs digitally here. So you can see in front of the screen, just like we downloaded the notice here, you have to download the certificate here. And simply, here you are allotted a trademark for 10 years. So guys, if I want to summarize here, then let's suppose you have filed the trademark application here, then after that, you can simply put a TM with your people, but when you get the final certificate, after that, you can include the R here. With this, guys, if you have never filed any government application, then I will highly recommend you to hire a professional expert here. Because if you make any mistake here, then you will directly incur a loss of ₹ 4,500. Apart from this, guys, if you do self-filing here, then after that, the showcase hearing notices, etc., or the objection notices, etc., or the trademark research, that in which class I have to put it, plus whether this is a brand name register or not, then a lot of expertise is required here. So guys, hope you like this video. Please subscribe our channel. Apart from this, we have created a full video on trademark objections, that what type of objections are there. I will also give its link in the description box. And guys, if you want any service related to trademarks, or if you want a class 3 DST at affordable cost, then I have given the link in the description box. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much.
