Frequently Asked Questions

What trademark class is medical in India?

Medical trademarks in India use several classes: Class 10 for medical devices and instruments (surgical tools, diagnostic equipment, orthopaedic implants), Class 5 for medicines and pharmaceutical products, Class 44 for medical services (hospitals, clinics, labs), and Class 42 for medical software and digital health platforms.

What trademark class is a medical device in India?

Medical devices in India are trademarked under Class 10, which covers surgical instruments, diagnostic apparatus, physiotherapy equipment, dental instruments, orthopaedic devices, and all apparatus for medical use. Class 9 may be needed for software-embedded diagnostic devices.

What class is a hospital or clinic brand in India?

Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, and medical consultation services are trademarked under Class 44 in India. Telemedicine apps and digital health platforms may additionally need Class 42 for the technology component. Pharmacy retail chains also file under Class 35 alongside Class 44.

Do medical device companies need a trademark separate from regulatory approval in India?

Yes. Trademark registration and CDSCO/MDR regulatory approval are entirely separate processes in India. Trademark registration protects the brand name of the medical device or company; regulatory approval covers the product's safety and efficacy. Both are needed before a medical device is marketed under a brand name in India.
