8. Trademark registration

Trademark registration is a legal process that provides protection to distinctive signs, symbols, logos, names, and other identifiers used to distinguish goods or services of one business from those of others. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with specific goods or services within a particular geographic region. The registration process helps prevent unauthorized use of similar marks by competitors and provides legal remedies for infringement.

Before applying for registration, conduct a comprehensive trademark search to ensure that the proposed mark is unique and does not conflict with existing trademarks. This search helps in identifying any similar or identical marks already registered.

Establishing a brand requires a considerable investment of time, dedication, and financial resources
Consequently, it’s imperative to ensure that you have the legal entitlements to utilize your brand’s logo, tagline, product shape and packaging, sound, fragrance, color combinations, and any other elements that contribute to its unique identity. A trademark is a category of intellectual property that sets apart your products or services from those of other competitors in the market.

In India, the Trademarks Act of 1999 authorizes you to register a trademark, providing exclusive ownership rights and prohibiting others from using the mark, thereby supporting the registered mark’s owner..

Once a trademark is officially registered the “TM” symbol can be affixed to both the applicant’s and the brand’s names. Essential for brand name protection in India, trademark registration is best pursued with professional assistance, given the intricate steps and the continuous government follow-up required.

The process of registering a trademark online is more intricate than it may seem initially, comprising multiple steps and requiring ongoing government follow-up.

FilingUp has simplified this for you by breaking it down into three distinct parts and assuming the bulk of the responsibilities. Take the step to register your trademark today to safeguard your company’s logo, slogan, and brand.

FAQs

Any mark that closely resembles an already registered trademark or a trademark for which an application is pending is ineligible for registration. This is to prevent potential confusion among consumers and protect the rights of existing trademark holders

To ensure uniformity in the categorization of goods and services associated with a trademark, the trademark registry employs a classification system consisting of 45 Classes. Each class represents a distinct category of goods or services. When filing a trademark application, it is imperative to specify the particular class or classes under which the goods or services associated with the trademark fall. Trademark registration is then conferred specifically for the identified class or classes of goods or services

While the validity of a trademark registered in India is confined to the Indian territory, it’s noteworthy that certain countries leverage the trademark filing in India as a foundation for pursuing registration in their respective jurisdictions.

While the filing of a trademark application with the trademark registry can be swiftly accomplished within 1 to 3 days, the overall registration process entails the completion of formalities by the registry, and this typically extends the timeline to a duration ranging from 6 to 24 months before the trademark is officially registered.

Upon approval by the Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks and subsequent trademark registration, the ® symbol becomes available for use with the registered trademark.

In the event that the trademark examiner issues a hearing notice to the applicant, failure to respond within 30 days from the date of receipt results in an automatic refusal of the application. In such instances, the remedy involves filing a new application to pursue trademark registration.

Registered trademarks maintain their validity for a period of 10 years, commencing from the date of filing. To ensure the continuous protection of the trademark, the owner has the option to apply for renewal before the expiration of this term.

10. 15CA and 15CB

15CA and 15CB refer to forms that are part of the Indian Income Tax Act, and they are related to the taxation of certain types of transactions involving foreign remittances. These forms are required to be submitted to the Income Tax Department of India for specific transactions, particularly those that involve the remittance of money outside of India.

We at FilingUp make sure that you do not waste your precious time and resources behind all tedious and time consuming legal registration/compliance works with the respective government departments hence we have legal experts to make your business journey hassle free.

 

Form 15CA

Form 15CA is a declaration of remittance, and it is required for any payment or remittance to a non-resident. This form is used to collect information about the remittance and to ensure that appropriate taxes are deducted at the time of making the payment.

The person making the remittance (remitter) needs to fill out Form 15CA online on the official Income Tax Department website. This form captures details such as the purpose of remittance, amount, and the relevant section of the Income Tax Act under which the remittance is made.

Form 15CA is categorized into different parts, and the applicable part depends on the nature and purpose of the remittance. The form is submitted electronically, and a signed printout of the form (along with other documents, if required) is submitted to the authorized dealer (typically a bank) before the remittance is processed.

Form 15CB

Form 15CB is a certificate of an accountant, and it is required to be obtained by the remitter. A chartered accountant must certify the details of the payment, the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) deduction, and the compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act.

Before filing Form 15CA, the remitter must obtain a certificate in Form 15CB from a chartered accountant. The accountant certifies that the provisions of the Income Tax Act have been duly complied with, and the remittance is in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations.

In summary, Form 15CA is a declaration made by the remitter, and Form 15CB is a certificate issued by a chartered accountant. Both forms are required for certain foreign remittances to ensure compliance with Indian tax laws and to prevent tax evasion. The process is designed to monitor and regulate cross-border financial transactions. It’s important for individuals and businesses involved in such transactions to comply with these requirements to avoid legal and tax-related issues.

11. RERA

RERA stands for the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act. It is a significant piece of legislation in India that was enacted to regulate and promote the real estate sector in the country. The primary objective of RERA is to protect the interests of homebuyers and promote transparency and accountability in the real estate industry. The act came into effect on May 1, 2017.

We at FilingUp make sure that you do not waste your precious time and resources behind all tedious and time consuming legal registration/compliance works with the respective government departments hence we have legal experts to make your business journey hassle free.

Features of RERA include:

Regulation of Real Estate Projects:

RERA mandates that real estate developers register their projects with the regulatory authority before advertising or selling. This registration includes providing details about the project, including approvals, timelines, and financial aspects.

Transparency and Accountability:

Developers are required to disclose information such as project details, layout plan, land status, approvals, and schedule for completion to the regulatory authority and potential buyers. This ensures transparency in real estate transactions.

Project Delays and Compensation:

RERA aims to address project delays by holding developers accountable for completing projects on time. If there is a delay, developers are liable to compensate homebuyers for any losses incurred due to the delay.

Advance Payments:

RERA restricts developers from demanding more than 10% of the property’s cost as an advance or booking amount before signing a sale agreement.

Quality of Construction:

The act emphasizes the quality of construction, and developers are obligated to adhere to the prescribed quality standards. Any structural defects or poor workmanship must be addressed by the developer.

Formation of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs):

RERA mandates the formation of Resident Welfare Associations in a timely manner. The responsibility for the common areas and facilities is transferred to these associations once a certain percentage of units are sold.

Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA):

Each state and Union Territory in India has a Real Estate Regulatory Authority that oversees the implementation of RERA provisions. The authority acts as a regulatory body to address grievances and ensure compliance with the act.

RERA has significantly impacted the real estate sector in India by bringing in greater transparency, accountability, and fairness in property transactions. It provides a legal framework to address the concerns of both developers and homebuyers, contributing to the overall growth and stability of the real estate market. It’s important to note that specific provisions of RERA may vary from state to state, as real estate is a subject that falls under the concurrent list of the Constitution of India, allowing both the central and state governments to legislate on it.
