Indian Trademark Office has announced the Trademark Search as free. It will be in effect from today (13th January 2011) onwards. Earlier the Government Fee for manual Trademark Search was Rs. 500 by way of filing Form TM-54; Government Fee for the Expedited Search was Rs. 2,500 by way of filing Form, TM-71 and as per online Trademark Search, the Government Fee was Rs.400. Now, the Trademark Office has omitted the two TM forms i.e TM-54 and TM-71 specified in the Trademarks Rules 2002. The online Trademark Search has not yet been functional due to some updation in the website. Hopefully the online Trademark Search will be up and running from Monday (17th January 2011) onwards.
