Building a brand takes a lot of time, effort and capital.  As a result, it's necessary to make sure that you possess the rights to use your brands logo, tagline, product shape and packaging, sound, fragrance, colour combinations, and anything else that gives it a distinct identity. Trademark is a type of intellectual property which differentiates your product or services from other competitors in the market. Once a trademark is registered, the TM symbol can be used with the applicant and the brand. To protect the brand name, trademark registration in India is essential. It is typically best to seek trademark registration under the supervision of a professional, as the process entails several steps and needs constant government follow-up. TM registration under a particular class prevents others from registering the same mark in the same class. Trademark symbol TM is a provisional symbol, used for unregistered Trademarks. It acts as a warning symbol for potential infringers that the application, to claim the trademark, is under process.
The trademark symbol R signifies the registered trademark. The ® mark can be used; once the application gets approved by the government.
