Any individual, business, or legal entity, whether domestic or foreign, can apply for trademark registration in India.
Benefits include legal protection against infringement, exclusive rights to use the trademark, enhanced brand recognition, and the ability to license or sell the trademark.
The process involves conducting a trademark search, filing an application with the Trademark Registry, examination by the Registrar, publication in the Trademark Journal, and issuance of the registration certificate.
