A trademark application in India moves through formalities check, examination, advertisement in the Trade Marks Journal and finally registration. At two points — an examination report and an opposition — you have a strict deadline, and missing it can mean the application is abandoned. Enter your application number, pick the status shown on IP India, and we explain what it means, what comes next and the deadline that applies. Objections and oppositions can be handled by our team over WhatsApp.
How to track it
- Enter your trademark application number (digits only, from the filing receipt).
- Check the live status on IP India: open the Trade Marks e-Register / Application Status page, choose National/IRDI number, enter the application number and the captcha.
- Pick the status shown and the tool explains it.
- Objected: an examination report has been issued — a reply is due within 30 days of receiving it.
- Advertised / Accepted & advertised: anyone may oppose within 4 months of the journal date; if no one does, the mark proceeds to registration.
- Opposed: a counter-statement is due within 2 months of receiving the notice of opposition.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check my trademark status?
On the IP India website open the Trade Marks e-Register / Application Status page, select National/IRDI number, enter your application number and the captcha. This tool explains each status and deadline.
What should I do if my trademark is objected?
File a reply to the examination report within 30 days of receiving it, addressing each objection with arguments and evidence of use. If you do not reply, the application can be treated as abandoned.
How long does trademark registration take?
If there is no objection or opposition, registration can come within several months of the advertisement; objections, hearings and oppositions add time.
