Government Filing Fees in India

The trademark registration cost in India depends on the type of applicant and the number of classes under which protection is sought. The Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks follows a two-tier fee system.

1. Small Entities (Individuals, Startups, MSMEs)

If you are:

  • An individual
  • A sole proprietor
  • A DPIIT-recognised startup
  • An MSME with Udyam registration

Government filing fee: ₹4,500 per class (online filing)

Physical filing fee: ₹5,000 per class

2. Other Entities (Companies, LLPs, Partnerships)

For larger businesses and entities not qualifying as small entities:

  • ₹9,000 per class (online filing)
  • ₹10,000 per class (physical filing)

Online filing is strongly recommended due to lower fees and faster processing.

Fast-Track Examination Fees

The standard examination timeline ranges from 6 to 18 months. Businesses requiring urgent clearance may opt for expedited examination.

Additional Government Fees

  • ₹20,000 for small entities
  • ₹40,000 for other entities

This fee is charged in addition to the regular filing fee and is available only for online applications.

Renewal Costs and Validity

A registered trademark in India remains valid for 10 years from the date of registration.

Trademark Renewal Fees

  • ₹10,000 per class (online renewal)
  • ₹13,500 during the 6-month grace period
  • ₹18,000 restoration after expiry (within 1 year)

Failure to renew within this period may result in removal from the trademark register, requiring a fresh application.
