Requirements and Eligibility for Expedited Trademark Registration in Chennai

Specific Grounds for Expedited Examination

The applicant must meet specific criteria defined by the Trademark Rules for expedited examination, such as being a startup (registered under Startup India Registration initiative) or having a specific commercial urgency (e.g., related to a government tender). Valid grounds are mandatory.

Payment of Additional Fees

An additional prescribed fee, significantly higher than regular application fees, must be paid for expedited processing. This fee covers the priority examination by the Trademark Registry. This is a crucial financial commitment.

Clear and Distinctive Mark

The trademark itself should ideally be distinctive and less likely to face objections. While not a strict eligibility criterion, a clean mark can prevent delays even in an expedited process. This streamlines the examination.

Documents Required for Expedited Trademark Registration in Chennai

1. Standard Trademark Application Documents

All regular documents required for a standard trademark registration, including Business Identity proof, Brand Logo Designing details, and Power of Attorney. These form the fundamental basis of your trademark application.

Checklist

  • Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed / Udyam Certificate
  • PAN Card of the entity
  • Aadhaar Card of the Solo proprietor /partners/directors
  • High-resolution image of the logo (if any)
  • Exact wordmark Registration or slogan
  • Description of goods/services to be covered
  • Power of Attorney (signed by applicant)

2. Proof of Eligibility for Expedited Processing

Relevant documents proving eligibility for expedited examination, such as the Startup India recognition certificate (for startups) or documentation supporting the urgent commercial need (e.g., tender documents). This substantiates the claim for priority.

Checklist

  • Supporting documents for urgent commercial need

Expedited Trademark Registration Process in Chennai

Step 1: ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT & DOCUMENTATION

Our team first assesses your eligibility for expedited processing and collects all standard trademark documents, along with specific proofs for the expedited application.

Step 2: FILING EXPEDITED APPLICATION

The trademark application (Form TM-A) , along with the request for expedited examination and the higher prescribed fees, is electronically filed with the Trademark Registry.

Step 3: PRIORITY EXAMINATION

The Trademark Registry prioritizes the examination of your application. An examination report is usually issued much faster than standard applications, highlighting any objections.

Step 4: EXPEDITED REPLY & PUBLICATION

Any objections raised are addressed with an expedited response. Upon resolution, the trademark is quickly published in the journal. An expedited hearing may also be scheduled if necessary.

Step 5: RAPID REGISTRATION

If no opposition is filed or successfully defended, the Trademark Registry proceeds to grant the registration and issue the certificate in a significantly shorter timeframe.
