Wordmark Registration
Wordmark Registration
A Wordmark is a text-only trademark that protects the specific name, word, or phrase associated with your brand, regardless of any particular font, colour, or design. Unlike a logo trademark, a wordmark gives broader protection because it covers the word itself in any stylistic representation.

Broader protection than logo trademarks – covers all fonts, styles, and presentations
Same legal process and validity as trademark registration (10 years, renewable)
Ideal as the first step in brand protection before filing for logo trademarks
Filed under the same Trade Marks Act, 1999 framework
