Can I use or register "KARE"?

For the same or related goods, probably not. In class 1 (chemicals), class 3 (cosmetics and cleaning), class 5 (pharmaceuticals and health), class 9 (electronics and software), class 10 (medical devices), class 11 (lighting, heating and cooling), class 21 (household and kitchenware), class 25 (clothing, footwear and headwear), class 32 (beverages, non-alcoholic), class 35 (advertising, business and retail), class 39 (transport, logistics and travel), class 41 (education and entertainment), class 42 (software, it and design services), class 43 (food services and accommodation) and class 44 (medical, beauty and agricultural services), a new application for an identical or confusingly similar name is likely to be objected to by the Registry under Section 11 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, or opposed by the earlier applicant. Closely related classes, such as class 31 (fresh produce and agriculture), class 30 (staples, spices and confectionery), class 38 (telecommunications) and class 7 (machines and motors), carry the same risk.

For unrelated goods, often yes. The same word can be registered by different owners in different classes when the goods are unrelated and the earlier mark is not well known. "KARE" appears in 15 classes; the other 30 may still be open, subject to a search.

A small change rarely helps. Adding a word, changing a letter or using a logo does not avoid conflict on its own: marks are compared as a whole, by look, sound and idea. We already see 11 similar names in the same classes (below).

Questions about KARE

What does "advertised" mean? Read trademark status meanings, how long registration takes and how to run a trademark search.

Source and limits. Built from the Trade Marks Journal published by the Registrar of Trade Marks (a public record), issues from August 2021 onwards, as advertised and subject to transcription errors. The journal shows that an application was accepted and advertised; it does not show what happened afterwards (registration, opposition, withdrawal or abandonment), applications not yet advertised, or marks advertised before August 2021, so this is not the live register status. Applicants may ask for a correction or removal by writing to mehak@trademarkindia.pro. Information only, not legal advice and not a solicitation.
