Protect your brand identity, creative works, and business innovations from unauthorised use. EEGA Advisory Solutions provides end-to-end Intellectual Property registration services for startups, businesses, and professionals across India.
Intellectual Property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets a business can own. Your brand name, logo, creative content, software, and innovations define your identity in the market. Without proper legal protection, these assets remain vulnerable to unauthorised use, copying, and infringement by competitors.
Trademark registration grants exclusive rights over your brand identity, while copyright registration establishes legal ownership of your original creative works. Together, they form a critical legal shield for your business — enabling you to enforce your rights, claim damages, and build long-term brand equity in the marketplace.
At EEGA Advisory Solutions, we assist businesses, startups, and professionals with complete Intellectual Property registration services — ensuring accurate filing, timely follow-up, and full compliance with Indian IP laws administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) and the Copyright Office.
Trademark and copyright are distinct forms of intellectual property protection. Understanding which applies to your business ensures your assets are correctly and fully protected.
A trademark is a unique name, logo, symbol, slogan, or design that distinguishes your brand from competitors and grants exclusive rights over your identity.

Common questions about trademark, copyright, and intellectual property registration for businesses and individuals in India.
Trademark registration gives your business exclusive legal rights over your brand name, logo, or slogan — preventing competitors from using confusingly similar marks. It builds brand credibility, creates a valuable intangible asset, and gives you legal standing to take action against infringers in Indian courts.
A trademark protects brand identifiers such as names, logos, and slogans used to distinguish goods or services in the market. Copyright protects original creative works such as books, software, music, designs, and artistic content — giving the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and monetise their work.
Trademark registration in India generally takes 6 to 12 months from the date of filing, subject to examination, any objections raised by the trademark examiner, opposition proceedings, and final approval by the Trade Marks Registry. However, from the filing date itself, you can use the ™ symbol and claim priority for your mark.
If an examination report with objections is issued by the trademark examiner, a detailed written response must be filed within 30 days. If the objection is not resolved in writing, a hearing may be scheduled. EEGA Advisory Solutions handles the complete objection response process, drafting strong legal arguments to resolve the objection and advance your application.
In India, copyright protection for most original works lasts for the lifetime of the creator plus 60 years from the end of the calendar year of the author's death. For cinematographic films, sound recordings, photographs, and works of government, copyright lasts for 60 years from the date of publication.
Yes, you can file separate trademark applications for your brand name (word mark) and your logo (device mark). Registering both provides comprehensive protection — the word mark protects the name regardless of font or style, while the device mark protects the specific logo design and visual identity of your brand.
Registration is not mandatory before use, but it is strongly advisable. Without registration, your rights are limited to the geographical area of use and are harder to enforce. Registration gives nationwide priority, legal presumption of ownership, and the exclusive right to use the ® symbol — significantly strengthening your position against infringers.
Original works eligible for copyright registration in India include literary works (books, articles, website content), artistic works (paintings, illustrations, photographs), musical works, cinematographic films, sound recordings, computer software and programs, dramatic works, and architectural designs. The work must be original and expressed in a tangible form.
A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years from the date of application. It can be renewed for further periods of 10 years each upon payment of the renewal fee. EEGA Advisory Solutions provides trademark renewal services and proactively alerts you before your trademark's expiry to ensure uninterrupted protection of your brand.
Yes, absolutely. Any individual, startup, partnership firm, LLP, or private limited company can register a trademark in India. Startups and small businesses registered as MSMEs are also eligible for concessional government filing fees. Early trademark registration is highly recommended for startups to protect their brand identity from the very beginning of their business journey.
