Fastest Trademark Registration Service in India (2026)
Last updated: 2026-08-26 · By Harsha Chadalavada
Why Speed Matters in Trademark Filing
In India, trademark rights are granted on a first-to-file basis. If someone files a similar mark before you, your application faces an objection under Section 11 of the Trade Marks Act on the grounds of similarity. Every day you delay filing is a day someone else could claim your brand name. Fast filing isn't just convenient — it's a competitive advantage.
How Fast Can You File a Trademark in India?
Bentham files within 1 hour on working days (10 AM - 6 PM). If you submit outside business hours, we file first thing the next working day. This is the fastest trademark filing service available in India — most traditional agents take several days just to file.
Same-Day Trademark Filing: How It Works
Step 1: enter your brand name and select your goods/services class. Step 2: our AI instantly searches the IP India database for conflicts and gives you a risk score. Step 3: a trademark attorney reviews your application for accuracy and verifies your classes and details. Step 4: your application is filed with IP India — you receive your application number within the hour on working days.
Bentham vs Traditional Trademark Agents: Speed Comparison
Traditional agents typically take several days to file, given manual search and manual form filling. Bentham files within 1 hour on working days. The difference is AI automation — Bentham's AI handles conflict search, application preparation and form generation instantly, with attorney review as the only manual step.
What's Included in Same-Day Trademark Filing
Bentham's same-day filing includes: (1) instant AI-native conflict search across all 45 Nice classes, (2) application preparation and form generation, (3) trademark attorney review before filing, (4) the government fee (₹4,500 per class), and (5) filing with IP India within the hour. If your examination report comes back with an objection, responding to it is a separate, quoted service — see below.
Trademark Filing Fees
Bentham's all-inclusive fee is ₹6,150 per class, covering the government fee (₹4,500), stamp paper, search, preparation, attorney review and same-day filing. No hidden charges.
Can I Get Expedited Trademark Examination?
Yes. Expedited examination under Rule 34 is a separate process from filing, priced separately — it is not an add-on to the filing fee above. It moves your application to the front of the examination queue, so the government typically issues the examination report within 5 to 25 days instead of the standard 12 to 16 months, provided no objection is raised. The all-in cost is ₹25,500 per class. Bentham prepares and files the expedited request for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fast Trademark Filing
Q: Is same-day filing really possible? A: Yes — filing itself is a same-day, largely automated step. Q: Do I sacrifice quality for speed? A: No. Every application is reviewed by a trademark attorney before filing; speed comes from AI automation on search and drafting, not from skipping review. Q: What happens if there's an objection later? A: That's a separate stage from filing, handled by our attorneys and quoted at ₹4,000 to ₹10,000 depending on complexity — it isn't included in the filing fee, and it isn't a sign the filing was done poorly.
