Trademark Cost Calculator

Trademark costs in India split into two separate costs: a fixed government fee that's the same everywhere, and a professional fee that varies by what's actually included. Select your entity type and number of classes below to see both — as separate line items, not merged into one number.

Not sure how many classes apply to your business? Set the slider to 1 for now — identifying the right classes is part of the initial review we do before filing anything, and is not something you need to work out in advance.

Figures are for illustration. Government fees are current per the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 — subject to change by Registry notification. Professional fee is indicative; we confirm the exact figure in writing before any work starts. See our full breakdown of what trademark registration costs for the context behind these numbers.

Entity type

Individual / Startup / MSMECompany / LLP / Partnership

The lower government fee applies to individuals, sole proprietors, and entities with Startup India or MSME registration. Your advocate confirms eligibility before filing.

Which classes does your business actually need?

The number of classes is the biggest variable in the figure above, and most applicants are not sure how to answer it before speaking to someone. Before we file anything, we assess your specific products, services, and how the mark will be used — and give you a clear recommendation on which classes to register. That recommendation is based on your actual business, not a blanket suggestion to cover more classes than necessary.

Use the Nice Classification finder for an immediate indication, or get in touch and we will advise as part of the initial review.

Filed and argued by a practising advocate

Every application filed through NishaanWise is reviewed, classified, and submitted by a practising advocate — the same person who will respond if the Registry raises an objection and appear at any hearing that follows. Not a filing platform. Not a back-office team processing applications in bulk.
