FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Trademark User Affidavit & Further Procedure Steps package.

What is a User Affidavit and when does the Registry ask for it?
A User Affidavit is a sworn statement filed by a trademark applicant proving that the applied mark has been in actual use in commerce before or during the trademark application. The Trademark Registry may require a User Affidavit when the Examination Report states that the applicant has claimed prior use of the mark under Section 18(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the examiner requires evidence to substantiate that claim. If you do not respond with a User Affidavit and supporting evidence within the Registry's deadline, your application may be treated as abandoned.
What evidence do I need to submit with the User Affidavit?
Common accepted evidence of trademark use includes: invoices or sales bills showing the trademark in commercial use, product packaging or labels bearing the mark, advertisements or marketing material featuring the mark, website screenshots showing the mark in use, catalogue or brochure material, and bank statements showing business conducted under the brand name. Our platform team coordinates with your authorised attorney to identify the most relevant and strongest evidence for your specific application – guidance is included in your package at no extra charge.
What does "Further Procedure Steps" mean in this package?
Further Procedure Steps covers every step of the Standard Procedure after your User Affidavit filing – from Registry examination outcome through to Registration Certificate. This includes: post-affidavit tracking, Show Cause Hearing management if called by the Registry, journal publication monitoring, 4-month opposition period tracking and alerts, and full registration processing. Every step up to and including the Registration Certificate is covered in one payment of ₹7,900. The only excluded steps are formal Opposition and Counter-Opposition proceedings, which are separate legal proceedings handled under separate services.
Is the Show Cause Hearing included in this package?
Yes – Show Cause Hearing management is fully included at no additional fee. A Show Cause Hearing may be called if the Registry examiner is not satisfied with the User Affidavit and evidence submitted. Our platform manages the complete hearing process – hearing brief preparation, written submission preparation, attorney coordination, hearing attendance by your authorised attorney, post-hearing follow-up, and order monitoring – all included in your ₹7,900 package.
Is the government fee included in the ₹7,900 price?
Yes – and the government fee for User Affidavit filing is ₹0 (nil). No government fee applies for filing a User Affidavit under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. ₹7,900 covers: Platform Process Management Fee + GST @ 18%. There are no government fees, no hidden add-ons, and no surprise charges at any stage of the Standard Procedure. Note: if your application also requires a correction or amendment to attorney/agent details on record, the official TMR government fee for that change is ₹900 per application (Form TM-M for pending applications) – this is a separate procedure covered under our Trademark Application Correction & Amendment service at ₹3,900 all-inclusive.
How long does the User Affidavit process take?
Evidence compilation, affidavit drafting, and filing typically complete within 5–10 days of purchase (subject to evidence availability). Registry examination of the affidavit and outcome takes weeks to months depending on the Registry queue. If a Show Cause Hearing is called, additional time is required. The complete journey from affidavit filing to Registration Certificate typically takes 6–18 months. Your TROM dashboard tracks every step in real time so you always know exactly where your application stands.
What if I don't have strong evidence of use?
Connect with our process management team via WhatsApp (+91 98192 98195) before purchasing – share your trademark details and the type of business you operate. Our team coordinates with your authorised attorney to assess what evidence is available and advise on the strength of your affidavit. Filing a weak affidavit without proper evidence can result in the application being abandoned after a Show Cause Hearing – it is better to assess evidence strength before filing.
What happens during the opposition monitoring period?
After your trademark is accepted and published in the Trademark Journal, there is a mandatory 4-month period during which any third party can file a formal opposition. Our platform team monitors the Trademark Journal throughout this period and alerts you immediately via Email + SMS if an opposition is filed. However, responding to a formal Opposition is a separate legal proceeding handled under the Trademark Counter-Opposition service. This package covers monitoring and alerting you – not conducting opposition defence proceedings.
Does ipronline.com provide legal services?
No. ipronline.com is a technology platform providing process management, documentation and workflow tools in accordance with Indian IP procedures. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or legal services. When legal representation is needed, you authorise independent IP Attorneys at your discretion.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. We use industry-standard SSL encryption and a secure payment gateway. All transactions are 100% secure and PCI-DSS compliant. Your personal and payment data is protected at every step.
