Disclaimer.

This Disclaimer applies to all use of tmpublicsearch.com ("the Service") and to any information, results, or recommendations displayed by the Service. Please read this carefully before relying on any information from the Service for business or legal decisions.

1. Not Legal Advice

The Service is an information tool, not a legal advisory service. Nothing displayed on this website — including search results, FAQ answers, blog posts, or any other content — constitutes legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created between you and TMPS by your use of the Service.

For binding legal opinions on trademark availability, registrability, or infringement risk, you must engage a qualified trademark attorney or registered trademark agent who can review your specific facts and the latest official records.

2. Not an Official Government Tool

TMPS is a private service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by:

• The Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM / IP India)
• The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India
• The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
• Any other government, regulatory, or international body

The official trademark register of India is maintained by IP India and is accessible at ipindia.gov.in. For any legally binding search, application status check, or filing, please refer to the official register directly.

3. Source of Data

Trademark information displayed by the Service is sourced from publicly available trademark records via third-party data aggregators. We do not maintain our own trademark database. While we strive to display accurate and up-to-date information, we cannot guarantee:

• That data is current as of the moment you view it.
• That all relevant marks are included in our results.
• That the third-party data is free from errors, omissions, or transcription issues.

4. No Result Does NOT Mean "Available"

If your search returns no matching trademarks, this does not mean the brand is available for registration. Trademarks may be unregistrable or may face opposition due to:

• Phonetic similarity — marks that sound like an existing trademark.
• Visual / structural similarity — marks that look similar to an existing trademark or logo.
• Conceptual similarity — marks that share the same meaning or idea.
• Recently filed marks — applications filed in the last 30–60 days that may not yet appear in public databases.
• Common-law rights — unregistered marks that have acquired distinctiveness through use, even without registration.
• Well-known marks — internationally famous brands that receive extra protection regardless of registration.
• Absolute grounds for refusal — marks that are descriptive, generic, scandalous, or otherwise barred under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

A clean search result is a useful signal but not a green light. Always have a trademark attorney conduct a comprehensive availability search and clearance opinion before launching, branding, or filing.

5. Status Information May Be Outdated

The "status" displayed for each trademark (Registered, Pending, Refused, Abandoned, etc.) reflects the data we received from our source at the time it was last updated. The actual status at the IP India register may have changed since. For real-time, authoritative status, use the IP India online portal.

6. No Liability for Decisions Made

You agree that any business, branding, or legal decision you make based on information from the Service is made at your own risk. TMPS, its operators, employees, and partners shall not be liable for any loss, damage, opposition, refusal, or infringement claim arising out of your reliance on the Service. See our Terms of Use for the full limitation of liability.

7. Recommendation

Before adopting or filing any trademark, we strongly recommend you:

1. Use this Service for an initial preliminary check.
2. Conduct a comprehensive search at the official IP India register at ipindia.gov.in.
3. Engage a qualified trademark attorney for a clearance opinion that covers phonetic, conceptual, and well-known marks across related classes.
4. Only then proceed with brand adoption, marketing investment, or filing.

If you would like our IP team to handle steps 2–4 for you, you can request a free consultation via our website.
