Limits

registry_status is null until the status has been checked; use live=1 for a fresh read, which can take up to 40 seconds
Without live, the status shows the date it was last read (as_of), which may be old
Applications are indexed from the Trade Marks Journal from 2014 onwards, though live=1 can find numbers not in the journals held

Frequently asked questions

How do I check trademark status by API?

Call GET /trademark/{application_number} and read registry_status. Add live=1 to read the status from the Trade Marks Registry at that moment.

How much does it cost?

INR 0.40 per successful call from a prepaid wallet, with INR 50 free credit for new accounts. Errors and the account endpoints are not billed.

Is the status live?

Only with live=1, which reads the Registry directly. Otherwise the stored status carries an as_of date showing when it was last read.

Can an AI agent call this API?

Yes. IndiaCos runs an MCP server at https://indiacos.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can use the same data. The REST API uses an API key as a Bearer token, billed to a prepaid wallet.
