Common Brand Registration Challenges

Challenge	Impact	How Patron Accounting Solves It
Company Name ≠ Brand	MCA registration = legal entity only. No brand rights. Competitor can TM your name and stop you using it	Patron files TM same day as / before company incorporation. Priority date established
Wrong Class	SaaS in Class 9 (software goods) instead of Class 42 (IT services). Zero protection for actual business	Correct class identification. Multi-class for goods + services. Actual business activity matched
Descriptive Marks	"Best Software" / "Quick Delivery" refused S9. Describes product, doesn't distinguish source	Distinctiveness advisory before brand naming. Suggestive/coined marks recommended
Delayed Filing	Brand launched months ago. Competitor files same mark. First-to-file owns priority	File on day of or before brand launch. Prior use evidence if filing after launch
No Software Copyright	IT companies skip copyright. Weak position in disputes, due diligence, acqui-hires	Copyright registration Rs 500-5,000. 2-3 months. Prima facie evidence of ownership
