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

The government filing fee is:

₹4,500 per class (online filing)

If filed physically, the fee increases to:

₹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)

For physical filing:

₹10,000 per class

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

Fast-Track Examination Fees

The additional government fee for fast-track processing is:

  • ₹20,000 for small entities

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

Renewal Costs and Validity

₹10,000 per class (online)

If renewal is delayed:

  • Restoration after expiry (within 1 year): ₹18,000

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