Since fiscal year 2008, there have been more than 120,000 industrial trademark filings in India. The number of filings increased each subsequent year. Trademarks are used by companies to protect ownership over their brand, prevent others from using it, and it even provides them with the ability to sell, license or franchise their brand.
Trademarks at a glance
Naturally, trademarks cover every industry, and in 2022 research and technology comprised the largest share of global trademark applications. India is a leader in trademark registrations worldwide, and currently has 45 industry trademark classes. Trademark registration is handled by the Controller General of Patents Design & Trademarks, which works under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
India's growing economy
India’s economy is projected to grow by 6.5 percent in financial year 2024. The number of trademark registrations in India in the past few years have been multiple times higher than those in the period between 2008 and 2016. This may be a result of India’s ease of doing business ranking which has considerably improved in recent years, in addition to its expanding economy. Additionally, the country has aggressively pushed digitization, and the number of tech startups which have continued to rise, permeate nearly every industry.
