What is Trademark Registration?
Trademark Registration is an online process that goes through a round of applications to the Registrar of Trademarks for registration of a particular brand name, logo, text, color, sound, or related marks as a trademark. On going through a long process of trademark search, class selection, and objections / opposition, the registration process is completed with the final registrar’s approval.
In some cases, the registrar sends you a trademark objection notice in case there is any discrepancy in the application or he might send you a trademark opposition notice if a third party claims your application to be violating.
For online registration of trademark, you have to find a trademark class out of 45 trademark classes on the trademark registry and then select the appropriate for your trademark approval.

How Trademark Registration is different from Copyright and Patent Registration?
Trademark Registration is often confused with Patent or Copyright Registration while they all differ in terms of rights and powers issued to their owners. Patent Registration provides a right to the creator over his creation/invention to restrict it from re-selling, duplicacy, or re-invention without permission of the actual creator. For example patent for a prototype of a solar water pump.
Copyright is entitled to a creator of an art which can be either some literature/music or some artwork to protect it from its use without permission of the actual creator. For example – Copyright over books, songs, or some recordings.
Trademark Registration is done only for the protection of a particular brand name/logo/music label etc which can be presented on goods and services while patent and copyright registration are required to protect the recipe/secrets/creation formulas used in the creation of goods and services.
