Can I use or register "SUDARSHAN"?

For the same or related goods, probably not. In class 1 (chemicals), class 2 (paints and coatings), class 5 (pharmaceuticals and health), class 6 (metal goods), class 7 (machines and motors), class 8 (hand tools), class 9 (electronics and software), class 14 (jewellery and watches), class 16 (paper, printing and stationery), class 17 (rubber and insulating materials), class 19 (building materials), class 20 (furniture), class 21 (household and kitchenware), class 27 (carpets and floor coverings), class 28 (toys, games and sports), class 29 (meat, dairy and processed food), class 30 (staples, spices and confectionery), class 31 (fresh produce and agriculture), class 35 (advertising, business and retail), class 37 (construction, installation and repair) and class 41 (education and entertainment), 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 3 (cosmetics and cleaning), class 10 (medical devices), class 44 (medical, beauty and agricultural services) and class 11 (lighting, heating and cooling), 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. "SUDARSHAN" appears in 21 classes; the other 24 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 SUDARSHAN

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.
