Indian trademarks include collective trademarks and certification trademarks. A collective trademark refers to a sign that distinguishes the products or services of the trademark owner from those of others. A certification trademark refers to a product or service that uses the trademark, and its source, materials, manufacturing methods, performance and service quality have been recognized by the trademark owner. To register an Indian trademark, you can directly submit an application to the Indian Trademark Registration Office, or you can designate India as an effective country through the Madrid system of international trademark registration.
