Trademark registration in Vadodara is filed online on Form TM-A, and where the applicant's principal place of business is in Gujarat, the application is handled by the Trade Marks Registry, Ahmedabad. The government fee is ₹4,500 per class for an individual, startup or small enterprise and ₹9,000 per class for everyone else; our fee starts at ₹2,199, we file in 2 to 3 days, and you can use the ™ symbol from the filing date while the Registry examines the mark.
The process below is the same across India. These are the parts that are set by Vadodara and its state, and they are the parts that decide where your paperwork goes.
The official fee is charged per class, per mark. Filing online on the IP India portal is ₹500 cheaper per class than filing on paper. These are the fees in the First Schedule to the Trade Marks Rules, 2017.
| Form and purpose | Individual, startup or small enterprise (e-filing) | Others (e-filing) |
|---|---|---|
| TM-A: new application, per class | ₹4,500 | ₹9,000 |
| TM-M: expedited examination (Rule 34), per class | ₹20,000 | ₹40,000 |
| Reply to examination report | No separate official fee | No separate official fee |
| TM-O: opposition notice or counter-statement, per class | ₹2,700 | ₹2,700 |
| TM-R: renewal every 10 years, per class | ₹9,000 | ₹9,000 |
| TM-R: renewal with surcharge, per class | ₹4,500 plus the renewal fee | ₹4,500 plus the renewal fee |
Our professional fee sits on top, from ₹2,199 per class plus GST. Worked example: a proprietor with Udyam registration filing a wordmark in Class 25 pays ₹4,500 to IP India; a private limited company filing the same mark in Classes 25 and 35 pays 2 × ₹9,000 = ₹18,000. Startup and small-enterprise status must exist in the applicant's name before filing.

Government fee — paid by you at actuals
IP India charges a statutory filing fee per class, per mark, on Form TM-A: ₹4,500 for an individual, sole proprietor, startup or MSME filing electronically, and ₹9,000 for a company, LLP, partnership or any other applicant. A two-class filing doubles it. Renewal after ten years and any opposition proceedings carry their own official fees. All of this is paid by you at actuals, on top of our professional fee. If you are MSME or Udyam registered, DPIIT recognised, or filing as an individual, it is ₹4,500 per class; otherwise ₹9,000 per class. Udyam registration is free and takes minutes, but it must be in the name of the entity that will own the mark and must exist before the application is filed — attaching it afterwards does not recover the difference. Ask us before we file and we will tell you which side of that line you are on.
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% upfront, 50% on delivery.
All fees and charges listed are indicative only and do not constitute a binding offer. Final amounts may vary depending on the volume of work and the complexity involved.
We check the IP India database for similar existing trademarks in your class.

We file Form TM-A on your behalf. You receive the filing receipt with application number.
You can use ™ from the filing date. Your priority comes from the filing date, not the symbol.
For logos, the Registrar classifies the visual elements (Vienna Classification).
The Registry examines the application and may issue an examination report raising objections. A reply is due within one month of receiving the report (Rule 33).
Once accepted, the mark is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal. Anyone can oppose it on Form TM-O within four months of the Journal date (Rule 42).
If no opposition is filed, or one is decided in your favour, the mark is registered and the certificate issues. Unopposed, this commonly takes 12 to 24 months from filing.

A registered trademark is an intangible asset that adds to your company’s valuation.
A registered proprietor can sue for infringement without first proving reputation, and may file the suit where the proprietor carries on business (Section 134).
Indian trademark is the basis for filing in 100+ countries via the Madrid Protocol.
Brand ownership is a standard due-diligence question; a mark filed in the company's own name answers it cleanly.
Marketplace brand-protection programmes generally ask for a trademark application or registration in your name.
