What Is a Trademark Certificate?
A trademark registration certificate is the official document issued by the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM), confirming your trademark has been registered under the Trademarks Act, 1999. It is conclusive proof of ownership, showing the registration number, date, class of goods or services, and validity period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to download a trademark certificate?
No, downloading the certificate from the IP India portal is completely free.
Can I download the certificate before my trademark is fully registered?
No — the certificate becomes available only once the application status changes to 'Registered.' Applications still under examination, publication, or opposition won't show a downloadable certificate.
What if I've lost or forgotten my trademark application number?
You can retrieve it using the Trademark Public Search on the IP India portal — search by your brand name and class, and the results will display the application number.
Can someone other than the trademark owner download the certificate?
Yes — since trademark records are public, anyone can search and view registration details, though the certificate is typically downloaded by the owner or their authorised attorney.
What should I do if my application shows 'Objected' and I need proof of filing?
An objected or pending application doesn't have a registration certificate yet; you can instead use the official filing receipt or acknowledgment as interim proof that an application has been made.
Is the downloaded PDF certificate legally valid, or do I need a physical copy?
The electronically downloaded PDF is the official certificate issued by the CGPDTM and is legally valid on its own — no separate physical copy is required.
