Introduction
You’ve created a brand name that feels just right.
You’ve built a logo, launched your Instagram, maybe even made some sales.
But here’s a scary truth:
If you haven’t done your Trademark Registration yet, someone else might already be using—or registering—your brand.
And in India, first-to-file wins.
In this blog, we’ll show you how dangerous it is to delay your TM registration, how to find out if your name is already taken, and how to protect yourself—before it’s too late.
Trademark Laws in India: First Come, First Served
India follows a first-to-file trademark system.
That means:
✅ The person who files the trademark first gets the legal rights
❌ Even if YOU used it first, they can legally own it if they file before you
⚠️ You may be forced to rebrand, shut down your website, or even pay damages
It doesn’t matter who used the name first—only who registered it.
Real Story: A Lost Brand & ₹4L Damage
A bootstrapped home decor startup launched under the name “Rustic Nest.”
They gained traction on Instagram and started getting orders.
But within 6 months:
- Another seller filed the trademark for the same name
- They received a legal notice
- Their domain was taken down
- They were forced to rebrand and lost SEO, followers, and ₹4L in packaging
All because they didn’t file their trademark in time.
