A Trademark search is done to ensure that any trademark, which an applicant wishes to register, does not cause the likelihood of confusion with an already applied mark. We at “LegalRaasta” offer free service of trademark search for you. We have the updated database for ease of the process and this is a hassle-free online process for you.
This type of search allows you to retrieve trademarks that use the same word as that of the query entered.
In some cases, a trademark may contain the same visual elements as that of other companies. It would be difficult to search for such marks. India is a member of the Vienna convention, so it follows the international classification for the same.
The phonetic search interface is used in the case of similar-sounding trademark words. It is a useful type of search as it sometimes provides results having a different spelling but a similar sound.
According to the NICE classification, the trademark is classified into 45 categories. Among this, 34 classed represents goods and 11 represents services. Since each class shows a unique category of goods and services, so you should choose the right class for your trademark. The process is carried out, once you select the category/class for your goods/services.

In case one uses a registered trademark without the authorization of the
trademark owner, then it is considered trademark infringement. It is an offense under the Trade
Marks Act,1999. Under this, the registered trademark owner can issue a notice to the infringer
to stop the use of the mark.
Even after this, if the infringement is continued, then action to cease all goods that violate
the Trade Marks Act could be initiated. And the claim for the damages can be initiated.
