What should Chembur’s industrial and food businesses register?
Lubricants and industrial oils (class 4) are blended and traded near the Mahul refineries, and counterfeit packs of known brands are common in the trade. Register the name and the container label as a device mark. A registered mark lets you sue for infringement, and falsely applying a trademark is also a criminal offence under the Trade Marks Act, so police complaints become possible.
Chemical and fertiliser traders (class 1) register their house mark on bags and drums; the chemical names themselves stay free.
Sindhi food businesses in Chembur Camp sell papad, sweets and farsan (class 30). "Sindhi Papad" describes the product and its community origin and cannot be one maker's brand; a family or coined name can.
Restaurants (class 43) sometimes find that another outlet in the city has used the same name for years. Honest concurrent use can allow both to be registered, but it needs evidence, so keep old menus and bills.
Builders redeveloping housing societies should not register the society's old name for their project without the society's written consent; the name belongs to the society.
How does a Chembur business register a trademark?
Day 1–2
Search and class advice
We search the name and the label in class 4 for lubricants, class 1 for chemicals or class 30 for papad and farsan, and note look-alike labels already on the register. The written report flags the features counterfeiters are likely to copy.
Before filing
Paperwork and authorisation
Send the container or pack label exactly as printed, and the proprietor’s ID or the firm’s documents. A restaurant claiming years of use keeps its old menus and bills for the affidavit. Form TM-48 can be signed at our Vashi office, across the creek.
Filing day
Filing with the Trade Marks Registry, Mumbai
We file Form TM-A online, with the word and the label as separate applications where both matter. Each application number is issued the same day.
After filing
Examination, Journal and registration
The examiner reviews the mark and we answer any objection. After acceptance it is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal, where anyone has four months to oppose. An unopposed mark is registered for ten years from the application date, and can then be enforced against fake packs.
What are the government fees?
IP India’s fee is per class, so a word mark and a label filed as separate applications are charged separately. Small blenders and food makers holding an Udyam certificate pay the lower rate.

Trademark registration in Chembur: questions
Our Chembur unit blends lubricants. Which class do we file in?
Class 4 for lubricants, greases and industrial oils. Register the container label as a device mark as well as the name.
Are counterfeit lubricant packs a trademark matter?
Yes. A registered mark supports a civil suit for infringement, and falsifying a trademark is a criminal offence under the Act, which allows a police complaint.
Can a papad maker register "Sindhi Papad"?
No. It describes the product. Register your family or brand name and use "Sindhi papad" as a description beside it.
Two Mumbai restaurants have used the same name for years. Can both be registered?
Possibly, through honest concurrent use, if each adopted the name in good faith and can prove long use. The registrar may impose conditions.
Can a builder register the name of the old society it is redeveloping?
Not without the society’s written consent. The name is associated with the society and its members; take a written agreement first.
Do Govandi and Mankhurd businesses use the same registry?
Yes. They are in Mumbai, so the Trade Marks Registry, Mumbai handles them.
