The city name is famous. Your brand needs its own.
Moradabad is known as India’s Brass City, and buyers here and abroad recognise it. That is exactly why the city name cannot work as your brand: “Moradabad Metal Craft” is a registered Geographical Indication, and place names on their own describe origin rather than a particular maker.
What you can own is a distinctive name or logo for your workshop, export house or online decor label. It is what overseas buyers, marketplace customers and repeat clients will remember.
Brassware also spans several classes, because the Registry classifies goods by what they are used for. Picking the right classes is where most first-time filers go wrong.
What to file for a brassware business
| Class 6 | Statues, figurines and decorative works of art made of brass or other common metals |
| Class 21 | Vases, bowls, utensils, candle holders and other household containers |
| Class 11 | Lamps, diyas with fittings and other lighting |
| Class 35 | Export trading, wholesale and online store services under your brand |
Pick classes by product use: a brass vase goes in class 21, a brass statue in class 6, a brass lamp in class 11. Each class has its own government fee, so we suggest only what you sell.

Brassware-specific points we check before filing
GI and place names
“Moradabad Metal Craft” is a registered GI, and the Trade Marks Act refuses marks that consist only of a place name. Build your mark on a coined name, a family name or a logo instead.
Classes follow use, not metal
The Registry classifies goods by function, so a brass vase, a brass statue and a brass lamp fall in three different classes. We map your product list to the right ones.
Shape needs a design filing
A trademark protects your name and logo. A new vase shape or engraving pattern is protected by design registration (and the artwork by copyright). We tell you when that is worth it.
Exporters and private label
If you make goods for a foreign buyer’s brand, that brand is theirs. File your own house brand for direct and online sales.
Exporting under your own name?
An Indian trademark protects you in India only. Through the Madrid system, your Indian application can be the base for filings in your export markets.

Questions from Moradabad brassware businesses
Which class should a brassware brand file in?
It depends on the product: decorative statues and metal art go in class 6, vases, bowls and utensils in class 21, and lamps in class 11. Add class 35 if you sell online or export under the brand. We map your products in the free check.
Can I use “Moradabad” in my brand name?
Not as the main part of it. Moradabad Metal Craft is a registered GI, and marks that consist only of a place name are refused. You can still mention where you are based on packaging; the mark itself should be distinctive.
Does a trademark protect my product design?
No. A trademark protects the name and logo. A new shape or pattern is protected by registering the design, and original artwork by copyright.
Which Registry office handles Moradabad?
Uttar Pradesh falls under the Trade Marks Registry office in Delhi. We file online, so you never need to visit.
What does it cost in total?
For one class, as an individual or micro/small enterprise: Search + File ₹1,299 + ₹234 GST + ₹4,500 government fee = ₹6,033. Each extra class adds its own government fee, and you get the full total in writing before you pay.
When can I use ™ and ®?
You can use ™ from the day you get your application number. Use ® only after the mark is registered; using it earlier is an offence under the Trade Marks Act.
