Agra makes the shoes. Your brand should carry the name.
Agra’s footwear trade runs from small units supplying the wholesale markets to large export houses making shoes for international labels. More makers are now selling under their own brand on marketplaces and through retailers, and that brand is what customers come back for.
“Agra Leather Footwear” is itself a registered Geographical Indication, so the city and craft name cannot be your brand. Words like Leather, Comfort, Walk or Shoes describe the goods too. The protectable part is a distinctive name or logo of your own.
Footwear is filed in the busy clothing class, so a search before you emboss soles, print insoles or order boxes avoids a costly rebrand.
What to file for a footwear business
| Class 25 | Footwear: shoes, sandals, chappals, boots, and also clothing and belts |
| Class 18 | Leather bags, wallets and other leather goods |
| Class 35 | Wholesale, retail, export trading and online store services under your brand |
Shoe brands file in class 25. Add class 18 if you also sell bags or wallets under the same name. Each class has its own government fee.

Footwear-specific points we check before filing
GI and place names
“Agra Leather Footwear” is a registered GI, and marks that consist only of a place name are refused. Use Agra on your packaging to show origin, but build the brand on your own name.
Descriptive words
Leather, Comfort, Walk, Step or Shoes describe the product. They can be part of a mark, but your protection comes from the distinctive part or a logo.
Insole, sole and box branding
The logo embossed on soles and printed on insoles and boxes can be filed as a device mark, with the name or separately.
Private label vs your brand
If you make shoes for a buyer’s label, that brand is theirs. File your own house brand for wholesale, retail and online sales.
New sole or shoe designs
A trademark protects the name and logo. A new sole pattern or shoe shape is protected by design registration. We tell you when that is worth adding.

Questions from Agra footwear businesses
Which class should a shoe brand file in?
Class 25 covers footwear, along with clothing. Add class 18 for leather bags and wallets, and class 35 if you sell through your own store or website under the brand. We confirm the classes in the free check.
Can I use “Agra” or “Agra Leather” in my brand?
Not as the main part of it. Agra Leather Footwear is a registered GI, and place names on their own describe origin. Keep Agra on the packaging and make the brand itself distinctive.
I supply shoes to Hing Ki Mandi wholesalers. Is a trademark worth it?
Yes, if you sell under your own name. Wholesale markets are where copies spread fastest, and a filed trademark lets you act against sellers using your name.
Which Registry office handles Agra?
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.
