What do Andheri’s media, agency and export businesses need to register?
Production houses and studios in Andheri West, Oshiwara and Versova register the banner or studio name in class 41, and in class 9 if they sell downloadable films or music. A show or series name that runs across seasons and appears on merchandise can be registered too; a one-off title usually cannot.
Advertising and digital agencies around Chakala and Lokhandwala create names and logos for clients. Two rules prevent disputes later. The client, not the agency, should be the trademark applicant. And the copyright in a logo belongs to its designer unless it is assigned in writing, so the agency contract should transfer it to the client.
SEEPZ jewellery and electronics exporters sell mostly abroad. An Indian registration protects the brand in India only; protect it in the buyers' markets through the Madrid Protocol or direct filings, and register the Indian mark first so it can serve as the base.
Hotels and restaurants on the Sahar and Marol side of the airport register in class 43.
Local industry
SEEPZ, the studios and the airport hotels
SEEPZ jewellery and software exporters and the hotels on the Sahar side, with their usual classes; film and ad production files in class 41.
Restaurants and cloud kitchens
Class 43
Food service; packaged sauces or snacks sold under the brand add Class 29 or 30.
Starting points only: the right classes depend on exactly what you sell. See the 45 trademark classes or search them in the class finder.
Process
How does an Andheri business register a trademark?
Day 1–2
Search and class advice
We search the register for the banner, show or brand name, including similar spellings, and advise on classes: 41 for production services, 9 for downloadable media, 14 for SEEPZ jewellery. You get the risks in writing before the artwork is final.
Before filing
Paperwork and authorisation
Agencies send the signed copyright assignment for the logo, so that the client files as owner. Studios and exporters send the company’s incorporation or Udyam certificate, and an authorised signatory signs the Form TM-48 authorisation and returns a scan.
Filing day
Filing with the Trade Marks Registry, Mumbai
We file Form TM-A online the day you approve the draft. The application number arrives at once, and the ™ symbol can then appear on posters, end credits and export cartons.
After filing
Examination, Journal and registration
The examiner reports on the mark; we answer any objection and attend a hearing if one is listed. Once accepted, the mark is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal for a four-month opposition window, then registered for ten years from the application date.

FAQs
Trademark registration in Andheri: questions
Are Andheri East and Andheri West handled differently?
No. Both are in the Mumbai Suburban district of Maharashtra, so both file with the Trade Marks Registry, Mumbai.
Who owns a logo that our Andheri agency designed for us?
The designer owns the copyright until it is assigned in writing. Get a written assignment from the agency, then file the trademark in your own name.
Can an Andheri production house register the name of a web series?
Yes, if the name is used across seasons or on merchandise and works as a brand. File in class 41, and class 9 or 25 if you sell media or merchandise.
Should an agency file a campaign tagline in its own name?
No. The tagline promotes the client’s goods, so the client should be the applicant. The agency can file on the client’s instructions.
Does a SEEPZ jewellery exporter need trademark protection abroad?
Yes, in each market where you sell under your brand. Trademark rights are territorial; an Indian registration does not reach the US, EU or Gulf.
Do you have an office in Andheri?
No. Our only office is in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Andheri clients work with us by email and video call, and can visit Vashi by appointment.
