FAQs — Trademark Search Surat

I deal in diamonds — what trademark class do I need?+

Class 14 covers precious metals, alloys, jewellery, precious stones, and diamonds. If you also provide diamond certification services or valuations, those service activities may fall under Class 35 or Class 44. Most diamond traders need Class 14 as their primary class.

Can a synthetic fabric design be trademarked?+

A brand name or logo associated with your synthetic fabric can be trademarked. The fabric design itself (a woven or printed pattern) is generally protected by copyright (automatic) or can be registered as a design under the Designs Act, 2000 — which is separate from trademark registration.

The textile market copies brands constantly — how does trademark help?+

A registered trademark gives you the right to send cease-and-desist letters, file infringement suits, and request police action under the Trade Marks Act. The Act also provides for criminal penalties for trademark counterfeiting. Registration is essential for enforcement.

Which registry handles Surat?+

Surat (Gujarat) falls under the Mumbai Trade Marks Registry. All applications are filed online at ipindia.gov.in.
