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?" π¬ππ¦
✅ 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. π‘️⚖️
π What Happens When You File a Trademark Application in India:
π Once you file, your brand enters the 'TM' phase — meaning it’s "pending registration" but officially in the system.
π You can use the ™ symbol immediately (not the ® symbol — that's only after registration).
π 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
