Frequently asked questions

How many trademarks does Merck KGaA have?

918 trademark applications in the IP India register are filed under the name Merck KGaA, spanning 26 April 1984 to 25 August 2026. This counts filings recorded against that applicant name; marks held under a group company, a subsidiary, or a founder's personal name are recorded separately.

Which trademark classes does Merck KGaA file in?

Class 5 — Pharmaceuticals is the most-used class, with 215 filings — 23.4% of the portfolio. In total the portfolio covers 12 NICE classes. Indian trademark protection only extends to the classes actually filed in, so classes absent from this list are not covered by these registrations.

Can I use a brand name similar to one filed by Merck KGaA?

Not safely, if it is in a class this applicant already covers. A mark that is identical or deceptively similar to an earlier filing in the same or a related class can be refused by the registry or opposed after publication. Run a clearance search across the relevant classes before adopting a name.

Why does this page show more than one spelling of the name?

Registry records carry whatever name was typed on each application, so the same business often appears under several spellings (Merck KGaA; MERCK KGAA; MERCK KGaA). This page groups them so the full portfolio is visible in one place.

How current is this data?
