## Which one should you choose?

### 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 INR 0.40 per successful call, errors and not-found calls free, and INR 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 Trademarkia India if

- you want filing done for you: registration support from INR 4,999, filing support at INR 1,999 plus taxes and objection support from INR 1,999
- you want a trademark availability check included in a filing package
- you also want patent, copyright and design registration support from the same platform

Skip it if you need a searchable data feed: the page describes process support, no standalone search tool, watch, API or coverage figures.
