 Can I Sell My Product Before Trademark Registration Is Approved? πŸ›️™️πŸ”₯

A super-excited entrepreneur recently asked us:
"My brand name is under trademark registration. Can I go ahead and launch my product anyway, or should I wait till it’s approved?" πŸ˜¬πŸš€πŸ“¦

Short Answer: Yes, you can launch — but do it with caution! Your trademark application gives you some protection, but you’re not fully shielded yet. πŸ›‘️⚖️


πŸ“š What Happens When You File a Trademark Application in India:
πŸ“Œ Once you file, your brand enters the 'TM' phase — meaning it’s "pending registration" but officially in the system.
πŸ“Œ You can use the ™ symbol immediately (not the ® symbol — that's only after registration).
πŸ“Œ Your application acts as a public notice of your claim over the brand name.

⚠️ But Here’s What You Should Watch Out For:
❌ If someone opposes your application, your brand could be at risk
❌ If someone with prior use challenges you, you might lose rights
❌ Rebranding later = costly packaging, marketing, and customer confusion

Pro Tips for Safe Launch:
✔ Do a comprehensive trademark search before applying
✔ Apply under the correct class of goods/services
✔ Use distinct logos and branding to stand out
✔ Document first use evidence for future disputes
