Trademark Registration with CA Sophia Stark & Co
Protect Your Brand. Strengthen Your Business.
In simple words, a trademark is your brand’s identity — a symbol, name, logo, tagline, or even a combination of colors that distinguishes your products and services from others in the market. It is more than just a mark — it’s your reputation, your trust factor, and the guarantee of authenticity your customers rely on.
At CA Sophia Stark & Co we simplify the complexities of trademark registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. From choosing the right trademark to filing and securing your registration, we ensure your brand gets the protection it deserves.
