Why Surat businesses choose us.
In a market where a sari or jewellery design name can be copied by a neighbouring unit within weeks, trademark registration is what actually lets you stop a competitor from trading on your brand's reputation — a cease-and-desist notice has real teeth only once the mark is registered.
Surat's textile trade runs on brand names — dress-material ranges, saree lines and lehenga collections sold through the Ring Road, Millennium and JJ markets are known to buyers by their label, not the mill behind them. The relevant classes are Class 24 for piece goods and unstitched fabric, Class 25 for readymade garments and stitched sarees, Class 26 for the laces, borders and embroidery trims, and Class 23 for yarns and threads. A stylised label design can additionally be filed as a device mark.
On the diamond and jewellery side, Class 14 covers polished diamonds, studded jewellery and the growing set of lab-grown diamond brands coming out of the Surat bourse. Exporters often register in India first to establish a priority date before filing abroad through the Madrid Protocol.
The practical value of registration here is enforcement speed: when a similar dress-material or jewellery name surfaces in Sahara Darwaja, Salabatpura or a neighbouring unit, a registered mark lets you send a cease-and-desist that actually carries statutory weight and, if needed, move for an injunction — an unregistered name leaves you arguing passing-off from scratch.
We regularly work with diamond and jewellery businesses, textile and sari manufacturers, and garment exporters in and around Surat, so the search, filing paperwork and any Registry correspondence are handled the same day you reach out — everything can be coordinated over call, WhatsApp and courier without you needing to travel to our Ahmedabad office.
How it works
Brand Name / Logo Shared
You share the proposed name, logo, or both, along with the goods or services you intend to sell under it.
Class Identification
We identify the correct Nice Classification class(es) your goods or services fall under, since a search is only meaningful within the relevant class(es).
Registry Search
We search the IP India public search tool for identical marks, and manually review phonetically or visually similar marks that an algorithm alone would miss.
Search Opinion
You get a written opinion — clear to file, file with caveats, or high conflict risk — before you spend on filing, packaging, or marketing under a name that might later be challenged.
Documents Required
Checklist- Proposed brand name and/or logo file
- Description of the goods or services to be sold under the mark

Trademark Search ↗Frequently asked questions
It isn't legally mandatory — you can file Form TM-A directly — but skipping it is a common reason applications get objected to under Section 11 for conflicting with an existing mark, which then costs more time and money to resolve than the search would have.
No — a search reduces risk by catching existing conflicts, but the Registrar still independently examines the application, and a mark can still face objection on distinctiveness grounds (Section 9) even if no identical mark exists.
The free IP India public search tool only catches exact or near-exact text matches. A professional search additionally checks phonetic similarity (e.g. "Zylo" vs "Xylo"), visual similarity for logos, and marks that are similar but registered under a related class — the kind of conflicts that actually cause objections.
Yes, IP India's public search portal is free to use for a basic search — we still recommend a professional review afterward, since interpreting "deceptive similarity" correctly needs familiarity with how the Registry actually applies Section 11 in practice.
The brand name and any stylised logo on the label can be registered as a wordmark and a device mark. The woven or printed pattern of the fabric itself is not a trademark — that is protected, if at all, as a registered design under the Designs Act, which is a separate filing.
Yes. With a registration in the relevant class you can issue a cease-and-desist with statutory backing and file for an injunction and damages for infringement, which is far faster than a passing-off suit. Without registration you must first prove reputation and goodwill in court before any relief.
