A foreign person or entity can apply for trademark registration in India, provided that they meet the eligibility requirements for registration. The eligibility requirements are the same for both Indian and foreign applicants.
Foreign applicants can file for trademark registration in India either through a local agent or attorney, or directly through the Indian Trademark Office. If the application is filed directly by the foreign applicant, they must provide a local address for service of documents in India. This address can be the address of their attorney or agent in India.
It’s worth noting that foreign applicants may face some additional challenges in the trademark registration process in India, such as language barriers and differences in legal requirements and procedures. Working with a local attorney or agent who is familiar with the Indian trademark system can help to navigate these challenges and increase the chances of a successful registration.
