Which one should you choose?
IndiaCos is the stronger pick for developers and AI agents: a public API, MCP server, per-call prices and self-serve sign-up for trade mark, patent, design and copyright records.
Choose IndiaCos if
you want trade mark search (34,76,034 marks from the Journal, 2014 onwards) by API with filters for class, office and journal issue, and Registry status where checked
you want a mark joined to its proprietor company by CIN and to court cases through GET /trademark/{application_number}/cases
you want trade marks, patents (10,90,748), designs (2,05,377) and copyrights (2,78,307) on one key
you want AI agents to call IP records through a public MCP server with OAuth and an agent sign-up flow
you want a flat ₹0.40 per successful call, errors and not-found calls free, and ₹50 free credit before you pay
Skip it if you need phonetic or logo image similarity search, watch alerts, opposition data or filing: the OpenAPI spec reviewed describes word, proprietor, class, office and journal filters only. Data use is limited to internal business use and showing records to your own users; resale and AI training need a written licence.
Choose IPGO if
you want to manage trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and geographical indications in one cloud application
you want journal scanning to flag marks that resemble your portfolio
you manage your own or clients' portfolio rather than query the register
Skip it if you need an API, an MCP server or published prices: the pages reviewed show a login screen for the IP Management Application and no public price list.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better for IP data, IndiaCos and IPGO?
IndiaCos is the stronger choice for developers and AI agents that need IP records by API. IPGO is the better fit when you want to manage your own portfolio of trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and GIs in a cloud application. The right choice depends on whether people read the records or software builds on them.
Does IPGO have an API or an MCP server?
No API is mentioned on the IPGO pages reviewed, which show a login screen for the IP Management Application, and no public MCP server was found. IndiaCos offers a REST API at indiacos.com/api/v1 with an OpenAPI spec and an MCP server at indiacos.com/mcp with OAuth 2.1 sign-in, and one prepaid wallet pays for both.
How much does IPGO cost compared with IndiaCos?
IPGO does not publish a price list on the pages reviewed. IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call, with errors and not-found calls free, INR 50 free credit and no subscription. Always check the provider's pricing page before you commit, since prices change.
Can an AI agent use IndiaCos and IPGO?
Yes, an AI agent can use IndiaCos: it runs a public MCP server with 25 tools covering companies, GST, directors, court cases and IP records. IPGO shows no public MCP server or API in this review. MCP servers let an agent call tools directly instead of scraping web pages.
When should you choose IPGO instead of IndiaCos?
Choose IPGO when you want to manage a portfolio of trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and GIs in one cloud application with journal scanning. Choose IndiaCos less readily when you need portfolio management, since IndiaCos returns register records and does not manage your filings.
What data does IndiaCos cover compared with IPGO?
IndiaCos covers 34,76,034 trade marks (Journal, 2014 onwards), 10,90,748 patent applications (Journal, 2005 onwards), 2,05,377 registered designs (2009 onwards) and 2,78,307 copyrights, with trade marks and patents linked to company CINs. IPGO describes portfolio management across trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and GIs and does not publish register coverage figures. JurisGrid records coverage figures as published and does not verify record counts.
