BKC fintech startup. Patron's search found 3 phonetically similar marks in Class 36 that we would have missed with a basic IP India search. Changed our name slightly before filing. Application went through without objection. Rs 3,000 search saved Rs 9,000 filing fee and months of delay.

What Is a Trademark Search Report?

A trademark search report is a documented investigation confirming whether a proposed brand name, logo, or slogan can be registered without conflicting with existing trademarks under The Trade Marks Act, 1999. It covers the IP India registry, phonetic variations, and common law usage.

The report analyses the proposed mark against all registered and pending trademarks in relevant NICE Classification classes. It identifies identical marks, deceptively similar marks under Section 11(1), and marks attracting objection under Section 9.

Our Process

Trademark Search Report Process in Mumbai

Our 6-step process covers complete trademark clearance from parameter definition through database searches, cross-referencing, risk analysis, to report delivery with filing strategy.

Step 1

Define Search Parameters and Class Selection

Identify proposed trademark and determine applicable NICE Classification classes. For BKC BFSI: typically Classes 35, 36, 42. Pharma: Class 5. IT: Classes 9, 42. Patron assists with class identification during initial consultation at Marine Lines.

DEFINEMark + ClassesNICE Selected
Parameters Set 01
Step 2

IP India Public Database Search

Access tmrsearch.ipindia.gov.in. Execute wordmark search using all three filters (starts-with, contains, match-with) in each target class. TMR Mumbai (Antop Hill) database covers Maharashtra, MP, Chhattisgarh, Goa plus national applications.

IP INDIAWordmark Search3 Filter Types
Database Searched 02
Step 3

Phonetic and Device Searches

Run phonetic search on IP India for sound-alike marks. For Mumbai brands using Hindi/Marathi origin words, phonetic conflicts are more common than exact matches. Conduct Vienna Code search if mark includes a logo or design element.

Step 4

Cross-Reference MCA and International

Search MCA database for company/LLP name conflicts. For RoC Mumbai entities, check CIN records. Search WIPO Romarin for Madrid Protocol designations into India - relevant for SEEPZ exporters and BKC multinational subsidiaries.

Step 5

Analyse Results and Prepare Risk Assessment

Categorise conflicts by severity. Assess objection likelihood under Section 9 (absolute grounds) or Section 11 (relative grounds - similarity). For Mumbai: factor in high density of marks in BFSI, pharma, and entertainment classes.

Documents Required for Trademark Search Report

  • Proposed Trademark Details: Exact wordmark, logo, or combination mark to be searched.
  • NICE Classification: Class or classes of goods/services. Patron assists with class identification.
  • Applicant Details: Name, address, entity type. CIN for Mumbai companies helps MCA cross-reference.
  • Business Description: Brief description of goods/services for accurate class selection.
  • Logo File (if applicable): High-resolution image for Vienna Code search.
  • Prior Use Details: Date of first use for priority claim assessment (if applicable).

Mumbai Tip: For DPIIT-recognised startups, provide your recognition number. While it doesn't affect the search, it informs filing strategy since recognised startups get 50% fee concession on Form TM-A (Rs 4,500 vs Rs 9,000 per class).
