Who is Eligible to Obtain Trademark Registration in Delhi?

Trademark registrations are commonly utilized for safeguarding brands, slogans, or uniquely coined words. In India, individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations can obtain trademark registrations. However, each category of the applicant has distinct requirements for filing a trademark application.

The following entities are eligible for obtaining trademark registration in Delhi:

• Individual: An individual, even if not engaged in any business activities, can apply for a trademark application and obtain registration for a symbol or word intended for future use.
• Joint Owners: If two individuals decide to file a trademark application together, the application must include the names of both individuals.
• Proprietorship Firms: When filing a trademark application for a proprietorship firm, the application must mention the full name of the applicant.
• Partnership Firm: In the case of a trademark application for a partnership firm, the application should list the names of all partners. If the partnership includes a minor, the application should also include the name of the guardian representing the minor.
• Limited Liability Partnership: For an LLP, the trademark application should be submitted in the name of the LLP itself. An LLP is an incorporated entity with its own identity, and the partners cannot be the applicants since the trademark belongs to the LLP.
• Indian Company: When a Private Limited Company, One Person Company, or Public Limited Company applies for trademark registration, the application should be made in the name of the company.
• Foreign Company: If a foreign incorporated entity seeks trademark registration in India, the application should be made in the corporate name as registered in the foreign country.
• Trust or Society: When applying for a trademark on behalf of a trust or society, the application should include the name of the managing trustee, chairman, or secretary representing the trust or society.
