What is Series Trademark?

A Series Trademark allows you to register multiple variations of a trademark in a single application when the marks resemble each other in their material particulars. The only difference should be in non-distinctive elements like:

  • Different color combinations of the same logo
  • Minor stylistic differences in lettering
  • Addition of descriptive matter that doesn't alter the main identity
  • Different layouts of the same elements
Example: If you have your logo in black, red, and blue versions, instead of filing 3 separate applications (costing ₹13,500+ in govt fees), you can file one series application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many marks can be included in a series?

Up to 6 trademark variations can be included in a single series application. If you have more than 6, you'll need to file multiple applications.

Can I add more variations after filing?

No, once the series application is filed, you cannot add new variations. You would need to file a separate application for new marks.

What if Registry rejects some variations as non-series?

If the examiner objects that marks don't qualify as series, we can either argue in favor or split the application into separate filings. Our analysis ensures this rarely happens.
