Trademark Filing and Ongoing Brand Protection
Name.ai helps businesses search, file and monitor trademarks in India while extending protection to related domains and digital channels. Choose a filing plan, get class and risk guidance, track the application and monitor for new trademark, domain and social threats.
Legal filing
Search, class strategy, application and tracking — attorney-led, and the part that gives you enforceable rights.
Digital monitoring
Trademark, domain and social watch — the part that tells you when there is something to enforce against.
Trademark filing is only the first step
A registration gives you the right to act. It does not tell you when someone is infringing — that still has to be detected across five separate surfaces.
Trademarks
Similar trademark applications can be filed.
Domains
Copycat domains can mislead your customers.
Social Media
Fake accounts can damage your brand reputation.
Marketplaces
Unauthorized sellers can profit from your brand.
AI & Search
AI variants and search misuse create confusion.
A filing-only engagement covers one box. Name.ai covers all five.
Trademark search and filing support
The legal track, in the order it happens. Every plan includes an attorney-led strategy review before anything is filed.
A search across the register for identical and confusingly similar marks in the classes you intend to file in. This is what establishes whether the mark is worth filing at all, and it is cheaper to discover a conflict now than after an objection.
An attorney-led review sets the classes, the specification of goods and services, and the filing basis. The application is then prepared and filed on your behalf.
Applications are examined and may draw an objection or a third-party opposition. You are tracked through each stage rather than left to monitor the register yourself.
Choose the right trademark class
Class selection is the decision that most affects both what your registration is worth and what it costs. Three things are worth understanding before you file.
Registration is granted per class under the Nice Classification. A mark registered for software does not automatically cover apparel or consulting.
Extra classes increase both cost and the surface area for objections. Filing too narrowly, though, leaves an obvious gap for someone else to occupy.
A conflicting mark in an unrelated class often does not block you. Which classes you choose therefore changes whether a name is viable.
Your plan includes a class recommendation and risk assessment, so the final choice is made against a search result rather than a guess.
Why Choose Name.ai?

Dedicated brand protection experts
We don't just file. We protect, monitor, and help you enforce your brand rights.
Trademark monitoring and alerts
The register is public, and new applications resembling your mark are published as they are examined. Monitoring exists because the opposition window is finite: an application you learn about late is far harder and more expensive to challenge than one you oppose while the window is open.
Alerts are scoped to your classes and to marks genuinely similar to yours, so what reaches you is reviewable rather than a raw feed of every filing.
Sentinel brand monitoring
Trademark, domain
and social watch.
Sentinel™ monitors the register, new domain registrations and social accounts on a continuous basis, and alerts you to matches worth reviewing. Monitoring frequency and channel coverage are set out in your plan.
Monitor new trademark applications
Monitor new domain registrations
Monitor new social media accounts

Take Down or Secure →AI variant causing brand confusion.
Monitor & Protect →Domain and social media protection
A trademark is the legal basis for acting against a copycat domain or an impersonation account, but the two problems are found and handled differently. Domains are registered silently and at volume; social handles are claimed instantly and often before a launch is public. Both need detection, and both benefit from owning the obvious variations up front.
Continuous brand protection monitoring covers lookalike domain registrations, DNS and WHOIS changes, and the hosting infrastructure behind them.
Defensive registration identifies which variations are worth holding outright, and startup protection does the same sweep before a name goes public.
Once you hold a set of brand domains, keeping them renewed, attributed and under the right permissions is an operational job — enterprise domain management handles that side across every registrar you use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Trademark filing, classes, monitoring and what the plans cover.
Timelines are set by the trademark office, not by Name.ai, and vary considerably. An application can typically be filed within days, while examination, any objection or opposition, and final registration take substantially longer. You are notified at each stage.
Classes are the categories of goods and services a registration covers under the Nice Classification. Most businesses need one or two for what they currently sell. Your filing strategy review recommends the specific classes and explains the reasoning.
No. A registration gives you the legal right to act, but it does not detect misuse. Copycat domains, impersonation accounts and lookalike registrations still have to be found, which is what ongoing monitoring covers.
Trademark monitoring alerts you to new applications resembling your mark while the opposition window is still open, which is the point at which opposing is most straightforward.
No. Plan pricing covers Name.ai filing support for the classes listed. Government filing fees and applicable taxes are charged separately.
Information on this page is general and is not legal advice for your situation. Filing work is attorney-led, and specific advice on your mark comes from that review rather than from this page.
Scope, jurisdiction and disclosure
- Jurisdiction covered
- India (Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks). Plan pricing and filing support on this page apply to Indian trademark applications only. Filings in other jurisdictions are handled separately — ask before purchasing if you need them.
- What is included
- Trademark search, an attorney-led filing strategy and class recommendation, preparation and filing of the application, and tracking through examination. Plan prices exclude government filing fees and applicable taxes.
- Limitations
- Registration is granted by the trademark office, not by Name.ai. No outcome or timeline can be guaranteed, and an application may face objection or opposition. Monitoring reduces the chance that infringement goes unnoticed; it does not prevent third parties from filing or registering.
- Not legal advice
- Information on this page is general and does not constitute legal advice for your circumstances. Advice specific to your mark is given as part of the attorney-led review included in your plan.
