The trademark registration procedure in India involves several steps to ensure your brand is legally protected. Here's a simplified overview:

1. Trademark Search: Conduct a search to ensure your desired trademark is unique and not already registered. 

2. Application Submission: File the trademark application with the required documents and fees. You can do this online or at the Trademark Registrar's office.

3. Formalities Check: The application undergoes a formalities check to ensure all details are correct.

4. Vienna Codification: If your trademark includes figurative elements (like a logo), it is classified under the Vienna Codification system.

5. Examination: The application is reviewed by a Trademark Officer, who may accept it or raise objections.

6. Publication: If accepted, the trademark is published in the Trademark Journal for public review. This allows others to oppose the registration if they have valid reasons.

7. Opposition Period: A 4-month period is provided for opposition. If no objections are raised, the process moves forward.

8. Registration Certificate: Once all objections (if any) are resolved, the trademark is registered, and a certificate is issued.

The time required for trademark registration in India can vary depending on several factors, such as objections, oppositions, and the efficiency of the process. Here's a general timeline:

1. Application Filing: Once the application is submitted, it is assigned an application number. This step is usually completed within a few days.

2. Formalities Check: The application undergoes a formalities check to ensure all required documents are in order. This can take a few weeks.

3. Examination: The application is reviewed by a Trademark Officer, who may accept it or raise objections. This step typically takes 6–12 months.

4. Publication: If accepted, the trademark is published in the Trademark Journal for public review. This allows others to oppose the registration. The opposition period lasts for 4 months.
