Trademark Registration for Beverages

Trademark Registration for Beverages

Trademark registration for beverages falls mainly under Class 32 (non-alcoholic) and Class 33 (alcoholic), with Class 30 applicable for mixes and powders. If the beverage business involves marketing or online sales, Class 35 can also be included. The process is completely online, and applicants can begin using the ™ symbol immediately after filing. The ® symbol is used only after registration approval. A registered mark offers legal protection across India and can be extended internationally under the Madrid Protocol.

Eligibility for Beverage Trademark

  • Beverage manufacturers (soft drinks, juices, water, etc.)
  • Bottling and packaging companies
  • Beverage distributors and traders
  • Food and beverage startups
  • Cafes, juice bars, and restaurants producing their own drinks
  • Individuals or partnerships launching beverage brands

Process of Trademark Registration for Beverages

  • Conduct a Trademark Search

    Search the IP India database to ensure that your beverage brand name or logo is unique and not similar to existing marks in Class 32 or 33.

  • Select the Type of Trademark

    Choose what to protect — your brand name (wordmark), logo, tagline, or label design. Many beverage brands trademark all elements for full coverage.

  • Prepare Required Documents

    Collect ID proof, business registration certificate, logo image, and address proof. If filing through a consultant, prepare a TM-48 authorization form.

  • File Application (Form TM-A)

    File the trademark application online through the IP India Trademark E-Filing Portal using a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).

  • Pay the Government Fees

    The government fee is ₹ 4,500 for individuals/startups and ₹ 9,000 for companies or firms per class.

  • Acknowledgment & TM Number

    After filing, you receive an acknowledgment number. You can start using the ™ symbol immediately.

  • Examination by Trademark Office

    The Registry examines your application for distinctiveness, conflict, and compliance with the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

  • Publication in Journal

    If accepted, your mark is published in the Trademark Journal for opposition.

  • Registration Certificate

    If no objections or oppositions are raised, the mark is approved and you’ll receive a Trademark Registration Certificate, giving you rights to use the ® symbol.
