How does this search work?
Every query runs through three independent matching layers — the same workflow a trademark attorney uses for a clearance opinion.
§ 02
Phonetic match
Soundex + Metaphone encode names by pronunciation, so ‘KWALITY’ surfaces ‘QUALITY’ — the conflicts an examiner cites under Section 11.
§ 03
Filtered by class & status
Narrow by Nice Class (1–45), state, or current registry status — Registered, Objected, Opposed, Abandoned and more.
We display only public Trademark Registry records — application number, wordmark, class, status, filing date, state and applicant name. In line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, we do not expose applicant contact details.

About the Indian Trademark Registry
The Indian Trademark Registry, operated by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), maintains the public record of every trademark ever filed in India. Filings are governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, and are processed through five regional offices: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad. The live register today holds applications and registrations across all 45 Nice classes.
Registerkaro indexes the entire public file daily so you can search any wordmark without logging into ipindia.gov.in, without solving the CAPTCHA, and without the registry's frequent downtime. Every record links back to the original public file, so what you see is exactly what an examiner, opponent or judge would see.
What is a Trademark Search?
A trademark search is the process of checking whether a brand name, logo, slogan, or device mark is already registered or pending on the IP India (CGPDTM) trademark register. Running a trademark public search against this official register tells you whether your proposed mark is available to file, identifies the correct class under the NICE classification, and surfaces any identical or deceptively similar marks that could trigger objections under Sections 9 and 11 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Trademark Name Search — Exact, Prefix & Phonetic Matching
A search that only checks for an identical name isn't enough — examiners and existing owners can object to deceptively similar marks, including ones that merely sound alike. Our trademark name search runs four checks in one query:
- Exact & partial match — your brand's text as typed.
- Phonetic match — names that sound alike (e.g., "Kwik" surfaces "Quick").
- Device / logo relevance — visually similar marks.
- Class-based conflict check — marks already filed in the same or related class.
Why Should You Do a Trademark Name Search?
A trademark name search is the cheapest insurance you'll buy for your brand. Running a search before you file protects you from:
- Infringement claims — using a registered name can trigger a cease-and-desist, injunction, and damages under Section 29.
- Application rejection — roughly 35% of Indian applications face objections, mostly for similarity under Sections 9 and 11.
- Third-party opposition — any party can oppose your mark during the 4-month publication window; a pre-filing search cuts that risk.
- Lost fees and time — each rejected application costs ₹4,500–₹9,000 in government fees, plus 6–12 months of waiting.
- Forced rebranding after launch — rebranding mid-stream can cost lakhs once you've built brand equity.
Trademark Search by Class
Trademarks are filed under the 45 NICE classes: goods in Classes 1–34, services in 35–45. You must file in the class that matches your business, or your brand stays unprotected. Not sure which fits? Use our Free Trademark Class Search tool to find the right class for your goods or services.
How to Use This Trademark Search Tool
- Step 1 — Enter the name: Type your brand name, slogan, or application number. You can also search by proprietor or attorney name.
- Step 2 — Choose the class: Select the relevant class (1–45) for your goods or services, or search across all classes.
- Step 3 — Review matching records: See registered, pending, opposed, abandoned, expired, and phonetically similar marks. Each result shows the application number, filing date, class, applicant, status, and registration date.
- Step 4 — Check availability: Use the results to decide whether your name is clear to register.

Trademark Status Search — by Name or Application Number
Run a trademark status search by brand name or application (TM) number to see exactly where any mark stands. Each result maps to an official IP India status:
| Status | What it means for you |
| Registered | Protected and in force — you can't use a confusingly similar mark in that class. |
| Accepted & Advertised | Cleared exam, published in the Journal, in the 4-month opposition window. |
| Objected | Examiner raised an objection; not yet secured. |
| Opposed | A third party has formally opposed registration. |
| Abandoned / Refused | No longer proceeding — the name may be open (verify carefully). |
RegisterKaro's dashboard tracks status in real time, with alerts when an application's stage changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, RegisterKaro’s trademark search tool is 100% free with no signup, no credit card, and no daily limits. You can run unlimited searches across all 45 NICE trademark classes, check wordmarks, scan for phonetically similar marks, and view full application details — all without paying a rupee. You only pay if you choose to file a trademark application through us, which starts at ₹1,499 + government fees and includes attorney review and end-to-end filing support.
Our trademark search is highly accurate because it pulls live data directly from the official IP India (CGPDTM) register, covering exact, partial, phonetic, and class-specific matches across all 45 classes. The tool covers exact matches, partial matches, phonetic similarities, and class-specific conflicts across all 45 NICE classes. However, no automated search can replace a full attorney-led common-law and trademark search, so we recommend a manual review by a registered trademark agent before filing if your brand investment is significant.
No. Registering your company name with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) only reserves the name as a corporate entity; it does not give you trademark protection. MCA approval and trademark registration are governed by different laws, different authorities, and different databases. To legally protect your brand name, logo, or slogan from being used by others, you must file a separate trademark application with IP India under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Yes. IP India’s trademark register supports device/logo searches where you can search by visual similarity or by the Vienna classification code assigned to figurative elements. RegisterKaro’s search tool lets you search by wordmark, proprietor name, and application number. For image-based searches, our trademark agents can run a device mark conflict check manually on the IP India portal before you file.
A trademark class is a category under the NICE International Classification of Goods and Services, which divides all products and services into 45 classes (1–34 for goods, 35–45 for services). You must file your trademark in the specific class that covers your goods or services. Filing in the wrong class means your mark won’t protect your actual business. For example, a software company should file under Class 42 (technology services), not Class 9 (computers/hardware) alone. RegisterKaro’s filing service includes class selection review by a trademark agent.
You can check application status on the official IP India trademark search portal at ipindiaonline.gov.in using your application number. Status stages include: Filed → Examination Report Issued → Accepted & Advertised (published in Trade Marks Journal) → Registration Certificate Issued. RegisterKaro’s dashboard also lets you track status in real time for applications filed through us, with automated alerts when status changes.
To do a trademark search in India, enter your brand name or application number in the search tool, select the relevant class (1–45), and review the results for identical, similar, and phonetically similar marks on the IP India register. A complete search also checks logos and adjacent classes. RegisterKaro's free tool does all of this in one search.
Enter the business or company name into the trademark search tool and choose the class matching your goods or services. Remember: a name registered with the MCA is not automatically a trademark — only an IP India search shows whether it's legally protected as a brand.
A phonetic search finds marks that sound similar to yours even when spelled differently (e.g., "Kwik" vs "Quick"). It matters because the Registrar can reject deceptively similar marks under Section 11 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Exact-match-only tools miss these conflicts.
An MCA company name search only checks whether a corporate entity name is free under the Companies Act and gives no brand protection. A trademark search checks the IP India register and tells you whether a name, logo, or slogan can be legally owned under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Most founders need both.
