About this report

Source: Sourced from the official IP India trademark register and the Trade Marks Journal. Only records published by the registry are counted — never applications filed through Trademarx.
Counted by: Application date as recorded by the registry.
Period covered: 1 January 2026 to January 31, 2026.
Comparison: Month-over-month change compares the full previous calendar month.
Known limitation: Figures are counted by the application date recorded in the register. Our index is refreshed hourly, but the registry publishes new applications with a delay, so the most recent days are always under-reported and will rise as records arrive.
