Introduction
Building a startup in India is tough.
But losing it all over a legal mistake? That’s heartbreaking.
And yet, thousands of Indian startups lose brand equity, revenue, and investor deals every year simply because they skipped Trademark Registration.
In this blog, we’ll uncover why this single legal oversight is costing Indian startups millions, and how you can avoid the same fate—by taking action today.
The ₹5 Crore Mistake: A Real Story
A popular tech brand from Bangalore launched a productivity app called “QuickDesk.”
They:
- Grew to 1L+ downloads
- Landed a ₹2 crore funding deal
- Had brand visibility across India
But they didn’t register their trademark.
Another firm, with a TM on the name “QuickDex,” filed an infringement suit.
Due to brand similarity, the court ruled in favor of the registered party.
Result?
❌ ₹5 Cr deal pulled
❌ App removed from Play Store
❌ Forced rebranding + legal costs = ₹18.5 Lakhs
All because they didn’t spend ₹5999 on a TM filing.
