Trademark Registration in India is crucial for individuals and businesses seeking to protect their brand identities and intellectual property within the country. The trademark registration process in India is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and is administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks.
