Based on the kind of business you are running, you might need to obtain government registrations, statutory licences, or industry-specific certifications to fulfil legal requirements and avail different business options. If you are planning to get an MSME acknowledgement, register your trademark, get an FSSAI licence, or have an Import Export Code, these are the appropriate registrations that not only help your business remain compliant but also bring you new opportunities.

A trademark is a tool which helps a person protect the uniqueness of their business. It works by giving legal recognition to one’s brand name, logo, tagline, symbol or any other memorable mark. Upon trademark registration, the owner is granted exclusive rights to use the registered mark and can enforce the legal protection for the same should there be any unauthorised use or infringement. Besides that, it also elevates the brand value and gains trust among customers and business partners.

In fact, Blufin offers the entire range of services related to trademark registration, like conducting a trademark availability search, application filing, responding to examination reports, managing opposition proceedings and obtaining the registration certificate.
