CapitalBox Consultancy Fee
₹12,350 + GST
Fixed professional fee for search, drafting & filing
Government Filing Fee
₹4,500 – ₹9,000
Per class, paid directly to IP India, billed separately
CapitalBox acts as a business consultancy and documentation facilitator for the purpose of trademark registration in India. CapitalBox is not a Government authority, law firm, or a registered trademark agent, and does not itself examine, publish, oppose, or register any trademark.
The role of CapitalBox is limited to assessing the applicant's brand for trademark eligibility, conducting a preliminary trademark search, preparing the application and supporting documents, and filing the application on the applicant's behalf through the official IP India portal. Engaging CapitalBox's services does not guarantee that the trademark will be accepted, registered, or free of objection or opposition — the final decision rests exclusively with the Trade Marks Registry.
2CapitalBox Consultancy Fee
The consultancy fee of ₹12,350 + GST is CapitalBox's fixed professional fee for trademark registration facilitation. It is payable at the time the customer initiates the service and is separate from, and in addition to, the statutory government filing fee described in Section 3.
The fee covers:
Consultation and brand assessment, including a distinctiveness and conflict-risk review
Preliminary trademark search on the IP India database
Selection of the correct Nice Classification class(es) for the applicant's goods or services
Drafting of the trademark application (Form TM-A), Power of Attorney (Form TM-48) and the goods/services description
Filing of the application on the IP India portal and obtaining the acknowledgement with application number
Application status tracking through examination, publication and opposition stages
The consultancy fee covers search, drafting and filing only. Drafting an examination-report response or representing the applicant at a hearing, if an objection is raised, is available as a separate add-on service with the fee communicated in advance.
3Government Filing Fee
In addition to the CapitalBox consultancy fee, a statutory government filing fee is payable to IP India, per trademark class applied for. This fee is fixed by the Government and is not retained by CapitalBox; it is paid on the applicant's behalf as part of filing the application.
Individual / MSME / Startup (concessional rate)Per class, subject to valid Udyam / Startup India recognition
₹4,500
Company / LLP / Others (standard rate)Per class
₹9,000
Multi-class applications require a separate government fee for each class. Where the applicant does not hold a valid Udyam or Startup India certificate at the time of filing, the standard rate applies even if the applicant is an individual or a small business.
4Refund & Cancellation
The CapitalBox consultancy fee is non-refundable once the trademark search has commenced or the application has been drafted, as it represents the cost of professional work already rendered, irrespective of whether the Registry ultimately accepts, objects to, or refuses the application.
The government filing fee, once paid to IP India, is governed by IP India's own refund policy and is not refundable by CapitalBox. If a customer wishes to withdraw a request before the search or drafting has begun, they may request cancellation in writing; any refund in such cases, if applicable, shall be at the sole discretion of CapitalBox.
5Important Information
CapitalBox is an independent business consultancy and documentation facilitator and is not a Government authority, law firm, or registered trademark agent. All examination, publication, opposition and registration decisions rest exclusively with the Trade Marks Registry (IP India).
Trademark registrability depends on a detailed search and examination by IP India and the specific facts of each case. A favourable preliminary search does not guarantee that the Registry will accept or register the mark, and the process, including publication and the four-month opposition window, may take 12–24 months in total.
Customers are advised to independently review any examination report, objection, or correspondence issued directly by the Trade Marks Registry, and to respond within the statutory time limits.
6Customer Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for providing accurate, complete and truthful information, including the correct description of goods or services and a genuine right to use the brand name, logo, or symbol being applied for. CapitalBox relies on the information provided by the customer and is not responsible for any delay, objection, opposition, or refusal arising from incomplete, incorrect, or misleading information or documents furnished by the customer.
The customer is also responsible for signing and returning the Power of Attorney (Form TM-48) and other authorisation documents in a timely manner, and for responding promptly if an examination report or hearing notice is received from the Registry.
7Data & Privacy
Personal, brand and business information shared by the customer will be used by CapitalBox solely for the purpose of the trademark search, application drafting and filing, and may be submitted to IP India as necessary to process the application. CapitalBox takes reasonable measures to protect customer data in accordance with applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
8Limitation of Liability
CapitalBox shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from the objection, opposition, or refusal of a trademark application by the Registry, delay in examination or publication, or any act or omission of IP India or a third-party opponent. CapitalBox's liability, where applicable, shall in no event exceed the amount of the consultancy fee actually paid by the customer to CapitalBox for the specific service in question.
9Service Commitment
CapitalBox commits to the following standards while assisting customers with trademark registration:
The consultancy fee, government filing fee, and the basis of calculation are disclosed upfront, in writing, before the customer makes any payment
No customer is pressured, misled, or coerced into filing under a class or category that does not suit their actual goods or services
Customer and brand information is used only for the purpose of trademark facilitation and is not sold or shared for unrelated marketing purposes
Genuine complaints are acknowledged and addressed within a reasonable and communicated timeframe
Communication with customers is conducted in clear, simple language, avoiding misleading claims about registration chances or processing timelines
This commitment reflects CapitalBox's own service standard as a consultancy and documentation facilitator. It is separate from, and does not substitute, the statutory examination and opposition process independently administered by the Trade Marks Registry.
10Grievance Redressal
In case of any concern, complaint, or dispute relating to the services rendered by CapitalBox, customers may raise the matter through the official contact channels provided by CapitalBox. CapitalBox will endeavour to acknowledge and address genuine grievances within a reasonable timeframe.
11Legal Compliance & Governing Law
Services are provided under, and this document is governed by, applicable Indian laws. The relevance of each law to CapitalBox's trademark facilitation services is explained below:
Trade Marks Act, 1999
Governs trademark registration in India — this is the primary statute under which the applicant's brand name, logo or symbol is examined, published, opposed and, if successful, registered by IP India. CapitalBox's search, drafting and filing work is carried out with direct reference to the requirements of this Act.
Governs the contractual relationship between CapitalBox and the customer. It applies because the moment a customer pays the consultancy fee and agrees to these terms, a valid contract is formed — this Act defines how that agreement is made, what makes it enforceable, and what happens if either party fails to honour its obligations (breach of contract).
Applies because the customer is availing a paid service (trademark facilitation) from CapitalBox, making them a "consumer" under law. This Act protects customers against unfair trade practices, misleading claims about registration chances, and deficiency in service, and gives them the right to approach a Consumer Forum if the facilitation service is not delivered as promised.
Applies because the entire filing process — application submission, document upload, digital communication, and online fee payment through the IP India portal — happens electronically. This Act gives legal recognition to electronic records, digital signatures, and online transactions, and governs matters like data security and electronic contract validity.
Applies because CapitalBox collects and processes personal and business data of the applicant (PAN, identity proof, brand details) for filing with IP India. This Act regulates how such personal data must be collected, used, stored, and protected, and requires CapitalBox to obtain consent and safeguard the data against misuse.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at the location of CapitalBox's registered place of business.
12Amendments to These Terms
CapitalBox reserves the right to update or modify these terms, fees, or the scope of services at any time, including in response to changes in IP India's fee schedule or filing procedures. Any material changes will be communicated through the website or other official channels, and continued use of the services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
13Customer Acknowledgement
By applying for services, the customer confirms that they have read and understood these terms, agrees to the applicable consultancy fee and government filing fee set out above, and authorizes CapitalBox to conduct the trademark search and to draft, file and track the application on their behalf.
