A trademark is defined as a symbol, word, graphic, logo, or any sign utilized to differentiate a company’s product or services from its counterparts in the market. It gives legal control to the owner and denies the use of the goods by other persons. Trademarks contribute to brand creation, brand value, and trust from customers. The registration of a trademark serves to safeguard businesses against such cases that would lead to the trademark infringement. One can apply it to the retail industries, technology industries, and manufacturing industries, among others. Trademark laws in India are registered under the Trademarks Act of 1999, which provides legal recognition to trademarks.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
