FAQ

Class 6 — Common Questions

Why do I need to register specifically in Class 6?+
Trademark registration in India is class-specific. Registering in Class 6 gives you exclusive rights to use your mark for metals & hardware in India. Without this, others can legally use your mark in the same category.
Can I register in multiple classes including Class 6?+
Yes — if your business spans multiple categories, register in all relevant classes. Each class requires a separate application and fee of ₹4,500 (individuals) or ₹9,000 (others). Our advocates identify all relevant classes for you.
How long does trademark registration in Class 6 take?+
18–24 months typically. With expedited examination, often 6–12 months. You may use the ™ symbol from the date of filing itself — which provides immediate protection.
What is the difference between Class 6 and related classes?+
Each class covers specific goods or services. For example, if you deal in metal alloys, Class 6 is primary. But if you also retail your products through a store, you may need Class 35 (retail services) as well. Our advocates advise on the full class strategy.
