Check the data source, since the IP India Journal, the e-register and the WIPO Global Brand Database give different coverage and freshness. 2. Decide whether you need similarity matching: phonetic and image search are offered by some providers (TMSearch.ai, MarkSimpl, MikeLegal) and are not described in every API spec. 3. Compare the price unit: per call, per record, per credit or per plan (INR 0.40 per call, INR 199 to INR 3,999 a month for watch, INR 39,400 to INR 89,400 a year for a management plan). 4. Prefer providers that publish prices and let you sign up without a sales call if you want to test quickly. 5. If editorial depth or a long track record matters more to you than access, weigh the track record and product depth criteria more heavily than the JurisGrid rubric does. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the best trademark search API in India?
