01.
Drafting that
actually wins.
The work itself
Most IP firms file forms. We draft arguments. There is a decisive difference when an examination objection lands, or when a corporate giant files an opposition. The filing is paperwork. The drafting is the difference between registration and rejection.
Every single application at Trademark and Copyrights is drafted and reviewed by the founder personally. No templates, no junior associates, no paralegal shortcuts. This is not a selling point — it is the operating model.

Eighteen years of practice. Wins against ITC Limited, Puma SE, and multinational FMCG companies. Verified in Registry records, shareable on consultation call.

Twelve months to
registration.
Predictable timelines
We do not promise what the Registry cannot deliver. A straight forward case takes 9 to 12 months. If an objection or opposition arises, 18 to 24 months. What we promise is that every step of that process is tracked, responded to promptly, and communicated to you without you having to chase us.
Filing receipt and application number are shared within 48 hours of filing, giving you legal right to use the ™ symbol immediately. Certificate delivered to your inbox on registration.

MSME pricing.
Big firm output.
Transparent pricing
Top tier IP firms in India charge ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 per class, then invoice separately for examination replies, hearings, and every correspondence. We charge ₹20,000 per class, all inclusive — search, strategy, filing, examination reply, and registration certificate.
No surprise invoices. No separately billed hearing fees. The pricing is on our website before you call us. We built this model because we believe India’s MSMEs deserve the same quality of legal protection that corporates get — without the corporate billing structure.

Strategy before.
filing.
Class strategy and search
Sixty percent of Indian trademark applications receive examination objections, largely because of wrong class selection, generic descriptions, or incomplete prior art searches. We eliminate this at the source.
Before we file anything, we run a comprehensive search, advise on class selection, identify conflicts, and develop a specification strategy designed to maximise scope and minimise objection probability. This is included in our base fee, not charged as a separate advisory.

How We Work
The philosophy behind
every file we draft.
I
Search before strategy
Every engagement begins with a comprehensive trademark search — not a cursory database check, but a thorough analysis of phonetic, visual, and conceptual conflicts across registered, pending, and common law marks.
No blind filings
II
Specification is the weapon
The goods and services specification determines the breadth of protection. We draft for maximum legitimate scope — built to survive examination and hold up in opposition, not just to get filed.
Precision drafting
III
Prosecution to the end
Filing is the beginning, not the job. We track examination, respond to objections, attend hearings, and stay in the matter through to registration. The file does not leave our desk until the certificate is issued.

From the Founder
"I started practicing because I believed MSMEs deserved the same quality of drafting that ITC and Puma get. Being backed by Beryl means every client also gets the brand strategy thinking that those corporations pay agencies millions for. That combination — legal precision and brand intelligence — is what makes our work different."

Humne pehle ek cheap platform se file karaya tha. Examination objection aayi aur unka koi reply nahi mila. Yahan aaye, sab kuch properly handle hua, registration certificate haath mein hai.

A large competitor filed opposition against our trademark. We were worried. The drafting here was so solid that the matter resolved in our favour. Worth every rupee and more.

They explained class strategy in a way no one else had. We ended up filing in three classes instead of one, coverage we needed for our export plans. That advice alone was worth more than the fees.
