Expedited Trademark Application in India
Faster Processing for New & Existing Trademark Applications
An Expedited Trademark Application is a facility under Rule 34 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 that allows an applicant to request faster processing of a trademark application. The request is made through Form TM-M after the trademark application receives its official application number.
Our Expedited Trademark Processing Service can be used for both newly filed trademark applications and eligible existing or pending trademark applications that already have an official application number. This service is suitable for businesses that require faster processing of their trademark application.
Under the expedited route, the Trade Marks Registry provides for expedited examination of the application, subject to the applicable rules and Registry guidelines. The expedited process can help move your trademark application through the Registry process faster than the standard route.

Expedited Trademark Processing Under Rule 34
Under Rule 34 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, an applicant can request expedited processing through the prescribed procedure. The request is generally filed using Form TM-M after the trademark application receives its official application number.
The Registry provides for expedited examination, ordinarily within three months from submission of the expedited-processing request, subject to applicable provisions and Registry guidelines.
