Can I Register My Brand Name Without Starting a Company?

 Can I Register My Brand Name Without Starting a Company? ™🧠 | “Idea Hai Boss, Company Abhi Nahi!”

One of the most creative (and sneaky smart) client questions we often get is:
“I have a great brand name for my startup, but haven’t registered the company yet. Can I still protect the brand?”
🎯#TrademarkIndia #BrandProtection #StartupTipsIndia #BusinessNameRegistration #IntellectualPropertyIndia

📌 Short Answer: YES, you can!
You don’t need a registered company to register a trademark in India — all you need is a bonafide intention to use the brand name.

Let’s Decode the Legal Magic:
🔸 Individuals can apply for a trademark under their own name — company registration is not mandatory
🔸 You’ll be registered as the proprietor of the brand
🔸 If you form a company later, you can assign or transfer the trademark to it

✅ Use ™ symbol even during the application stage
✅ Build brand identity while working on the business plan
✅ Gain a legal edge while talking to investors or partners
