Still have a question? Chat on WhatsApp
Is DSC mandatory for trademark filing?
No. IP India accepts a DSC or e-sign. The e-sign comes from the portal's authorised vendor against your Aadhaar or PAN. Agents who sign for clients use a DSC.
Can I use e-sign instead of DSC for IP India?
Yes. IP India takes either. One DSC covers applications, replies and renewals, so agents usually file that way.
What class of DSC is required for trademark registration?
Class 3 signing, without encryption. Individual or organisation.
How do I register my DSC on the IP India portal?
After the certificate is on your token, log in to IP India, open the Control Panel, register the DSC, select the certificate and enter the PIN.
Can I use the same DSC for trademark and patent filing?
Yes, the same Class 3 signing DSC works for both. Register it once on the portal.
