Trademark Registration for Contractors

Trademark Registration for Contractors

Trademark registration for contractors primarily falls under Class 37 for construction, repair, and installation services, with Class 35 and Class 42 applicable for business management and engineering design activities. The process is completely online, allowing contractors to use the ™ symbol immediately after filing and the ® symbol after final approval. The registration remains valid for ten years and can be renewed indefinitely to maintain continuous brand protection.

Eligibility for Contractor Trademark

  • Civil contractors and builders.
  • Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors.
  • Interior and exterior design contractors.
  • Infrastructure development companies.
  • Engineering consultants and architectural firms.
  • Partnership firms, LLPs, and private limited companies.

Process of Trademark Registration for Contractors

  • Trademark Search

    Perform a detailed trademark search in Class 37 (and related classes) to confirm your brand name or logo is unique and not already registered.

  • Choose the Type of Trademark

    Select the form of protection you need: a wordmark (business name), logo/device mark, or combination mark (both name and logo).

  • Prepare Documents

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

  • Filing the Application (Form TM-A)

    Submit your application online on the IP India Trademark e-Filing Portal using a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate.

  • Government Fee Payment

    The official filing fee is ₹ 4,500 for individuals/startups and ₹ 9,000 for companies or partnerships, per class.

  • Acknowledgment & Application Number

    After submission, you receive an application number, enabling you to start using the ™ symbol immediately.

  • Examination by Trademark Office

    An examiner reviews your application for accuracy, distinctiveness, and conflicts with existing marks.

  • Publication in Journal

    Once approved, your mark is published in the Trademark Journal for public opposition (4-month period).

  • Registration & Certificate

    If no opposition arises, your trademark is officially registered, and you can use the ® symbol.
