Protect your Chennai brand before someone else files it
Chennai’s auto and auto-component makers, SaaS companies on OMR, textile and jewellery retailers in T. Nagar, and food brands across Tamil Nadu all rely on names customers trust. The Trade Marks Registry office for South India is in Chennai itself.
A registered trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your name for your goods or services across India, lets you use ®, and lets you act against copies — on marketplaces, on shop boards and online.

Which Registry office handles Chennai?
Applications from Chennai (Tamil Nadu) are handled by the Trade Marks Registry, Chennai, which covers Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Puducherry and Lakshadweep. Jurisdiction depends on your principal place of business.
You never need to visit: filing, replies and hearings are done online, and we track your application until registration.
Brand names in Tamil
Many Chennai businesses use a name in Tamil. A mark written in Tamil script can be registered as it is. The Registry requires a transliteration and translation (in English or Hindi), which we prepare. If you use the name in both Tamil and English, filing both versions gives you wider protection.
Also protect your logo: the name and the logo can be filed together or as two separate applications. We advise which gives you better protection for your budget.
Questions from Chennai clients
Our brand name is in Tamil. Do we file it in Tamil or English?
You can file the mark exactly as you use it, in Tamil script. We add the transliteration and meaning (in English or Hindi) that the Registry asks for. If you use both Tamil and English versions, filing both gives broader protection.
What does it cost in total?
For one class, as an individual, DPIIT startup or micro/small enterprise: Direct filing ₹949 + ₹171 GST + ₹4,500 government fee = ₹5,620. Search + File ₹1,299 + ₹234 GST + ₹4,500 = ₹6,033. Other companies pay a ₹9,000 government fee per class. You get the full total in writing before you pay.
What documents do I need?
Your brand name or logo, the name and address of the owner (person or company), the date you started using the name, and a signed TM-48 authorisation form, which we draft for you. Micro and small enterprises (Udyam) and DPIIT startups also send their certificate for the lower fee.
Do I need to visit your office or the Registry?
No. Everything is done online for Chennai clients: you send details on WhatsApp, we draft and e-file, and you get the application number the same day. Our team is based in Mumbai and files for businesses across India.
