Why Trust Us

    Why Trust Us

    What is Trademark Registration?

    Trademark Registration is the legal process of securing exclusive rights over a brand name, logo, symbol, sound, tagline, or any distinct identity used to distinguish goods or services. Registered trademarks grant owners protection against unauthorized use, copying, or infringement and give them legal ownership recognized under the Trademarks Act, 1999.

    Once registered, the ® symbol can be used with your brand, ensuring that your intellectual property remains unique and protected nationwide. With UrbanDox, the process is straightforward, from initial search to the final certificate—making your brand legally yours.
