Which right do you actually need?

The four IP rights protect different things. Most businesses need more than one — and a few need fewer than they were sold.

RightProtectsGovt fee from
TrademarkBrand name, logo, tagline₹4,500 / class
PatentHow an invention works₹1,600 filing
CopyrightSoftware, artwork, content₹500 per work
DesignHow a product looks₹1,000 per design

Government fees shown are the lowest applicable rate — for individuals, startups and MSMEs with Udyam or DPIIT registration. Companies pay a higher statutory rate. See the full fee breakdown.

How we work

Search first. File properly. Stay to the end.

Most IP is lost to a missed deadline or a filing that was never going to survive examination — not to a lost argument.

Why AshuTrust

A practice, not a filing factory

Volume filing services optimise for throughput. We optimise for your application actually being granted.

IPR is what we do

We are not a generalist compliance shop that happens to file trademarks. Intellectual property is the practice — trademarks, patents, copyright and designs — and incorporation supports it rather than the other way round.

Search before you spend

Every filing starts with a real clearance search. Government fees are non-refundable, so we tell you the risk before you commit, even when the answer is that you should pick a different name.

One professional, start to finish

The person who reviews your search is the person who drafts your application and answers your objection. No handoffs to a call centre, no repeating your matter to someone new.

Deadlines are tracked, not hoped for

Examination replies, opposition windows and renewals are docketed the day they arise. Most IP is lost to a missed date rather than a lost argument.

Transparent pricing

You see the government fee and our fee, separately.

Statutory fees are charged at cost and shown on every invoice. Our professional fee is fixed and quoted before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise line items at the objection stage.

Client experience

What founders say

A selection of feedback from businesses we have filed for.

They ran the search before taking our money and told us our first choice of name was a bad idea. We changed it, filed the alternative, and it went through without a single objection.
Nand KishorFounder, D2C food brand
We went to them for one filing and ended up handling the company's entire IP and compliance side through them — trademark, renewals, all of it. Having one team that already knows your business saves a lot of repeated explaining.
Rashmi SinghDirector, Chanda Financial and Legal Services Pvt. Ltd.
Solar Mitram needed its brand name protected before we scaled up marketing. They ran the search, explained the risk honestly, and filed it properly the first time — no back and forth.
Rajat MishraProprietor, Solar Mitram
The MSME fee difference alone saved us more than their professional fee across four classes. Nobody else had mentioned we qualified.
Rajesh KumarProprietor, textile manufacturer
Incorporated the company and filed the trademark in the same week, with the name checked against both registers first. That sequencing saved us a rebrand.
Amit VermaCo-founder, SaaS platform
Their watch service caught a copycat filing in the Journal with six weeks left in the opposition window. We opposed and they withdrew.
Priya NairBrand Manager, cosmetics
For a handicrafts business, the brand name and the look of our products are the whole value. They handled our company registration and trademark together and made sure both were actually enforceable, not just filed.
Sweety SharmaDirector, Vishnukanta Handicrafts Pvt. Ltd.
We needed the company set up correctly from day one, with the name cleared before we committed to it anywhere. They walked us through the whole structure and got both the incorporation and the trademark done properly.
Anil KumarDirector, Shivram Parshuram Pvt. Ltd.

Which IP right do I actually need?
It depends on what you are protecting. A trademark protects your brand name and logo — the thing customers use to identify you. A patent protects how an invention works. A design registration protects how a product looks. Copyright protects original creative work like software, artwork and content. Many businesses need more than one: a consumer product might warrant a trademark for the brand, a design for the shape, and a patent for the mechanism.
How much does trademark registration cost in India?
The government fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and MSMEs with Udyam or DPIIT registration, and ₹9,000 per class for companies and other applicants. Our professional fees start at ₹3,499. The total for a single-class filing by an MSME is typically around ₹8,000.
Do I need to register my company before filing a trademark?
No. An individual or proprietor can file a trademark directly, and doing so at the ₹4,500 MSME rate is often cheaper than filing as a company at ₹9,000. If you are incorporating anyway, run the trademark search before finalising the company name — MCA name approval does not check trademark conflicts, so a perfectly valid company name can still infringe someone's mark.
How long does the whole process take?
Trademark: 12–18 months to registration, but you can use ™ and enforce from the filing date. Design: 6–12 months. Copyright: 6–12 months. Patent: 3–5 years, or 1–2 with expedited examination. Company incorporation: 7–15 working days.
What happens if my application is objected to?
Objections are routine — roughly half of trademark applications receive an examination report. It is not a refusal. You get 30 days to file a reasoned reply, and a well-drafted response with the right evidence resolves most objections. Our Professional package includes the objection reply and one hearing.
Do you work with clients outside Lucknow and Delhi?
Yes. IP filings in India are entirely electronic, and hearings are conducted by video conference. We work with clients across India and with Indian businesses based abroad. Everything is handled over email, calls and WhatsApp.
