IP India, QuickCompany, Corpbiz, LegalWiz, IndiaFilings, and IPMitra all offer free trademark search. Fewer offer real standalone tools beyond search — IPMitra's free AI search, cost calculator, and class finder work independently of each other and of any paid filing engagement.
In This Article
Every trademark search tool in India, including the official one, ultimately checks the same source: the Trade Marks Registry's records of registered and pending marks. But search is only the first tool you actually need before filing — knowing the correct class and the exact government fee matter just as much, and far fewer platforms offer free, standalone tools for those. Here's a factual look at six commonly used options, across all three tool types.
Feature Comparison
| Tool | Cost | Search Coverage | Beyond Search? | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPMitra AI Trademark Search | Free | Phonetic, visual, and class-specific conflict detection against the IP India database | Yes — free standalone cost calculator and class finder, usable independently | Founders who want the search run and interpreted for them, plus separate tools for cost and classification, all free |
| IP India Public Search | Free | Wordmark, phonetic, Vienna code (logo), class-wise, applicant name | No dedicated cost or class tool; class lists and fee schedules are published as static reference documents | A direct, authoritative check on a specific name or application |
| QuickCompany Trademark Search | Free | Exact, phonetic, and image-based search across all classes, per their published description | No separate cost calculator or class finder identified | A fast preliminary check across classes without manual navigation |
| Corpbiz Trademark Search | Free search; paid add-ons for legal opinion or filing support | AI-assisted search covering phonetic and conceptual similarity, per their published description | No separate cost calculator or class finder identified | Those who want a search tool plus optional advisory in one place |
| LegalWiz Trademark Search | Free | Availability check, similar marks, and an objection-risk estimate, per their published description | Cost and class guidance offered through their filing consultation, not as separate free tools | Beginners who want a simplified, plain-language read on risk alongside search |
| IndiaFilings Trademark Search | Free | Class information, similar-mark probability, and usage-conflict indicators, per their published description | Cost and class guidance offered through their filing consultation, not as separate free tools | Users who want conflict-probability context bundled directly into search results |

A Closer Look at Each Option
IPMitra AI Trademark Search, Cost Calculator & Class Finder
Free to use, and built around a different premise: rather than handing you a search box and a list of results, IPMitra's AI trademark search runs the phonetic, visual, and class-specific comparisons against the IP India database and returns a single report with an assessed registrability outlook.
What sets it apart on this list specifically is that search isn't the only free, standalone tool on offer. The cost calculator gives an exact government fee breakdown by applicant type and class count, and the class finder identifies the correct Nice Classification for a business — both usable on their own, without running a search first or starting any paid engagement. Most other platforms on this list only offer cost or class guidance once you're already talking to their sales team.
Like every tool on this list, none of this is a guarantee — the Registrar's own examination is the only process that can actually decide registrability, and it can raise objections a preliminary search of any kind wouldn't flag, such as descriptiveness. What these three tools together remove is the need to run manual searches, guess at your class, or wait on a callback just to know the government fee.
IP India Public Search
The Trade Marks Registry's own portal, and the ultimate source every other tool draws from. It's free, covers both registered and pending marks, and supports wordmark, phonetic, and Vienna code (logo/design) searches, along with class-wise filtering.
Its main limitation isn't coverage — it's that the results are raw. A search returns a list of entries, and it's on you to judge which ones represent a genuine conflict, whether phonetic variants are close enough to matter, and how a result in one class relates to your specific goods or services. Class lists and the government fee schedule are published separately as static reference documents, not as an interactive calculator or finder.
QuickCompany Trademark Search
A free, self-serve search tool that, according to its own published description, runs exact, phonetic, and image-based matching across all 45 classes and returns an instant report. It's built for speed — checking a name quickly without navigating the government portal directly. No separate free cost calculator or class finder was identified on their platform.
Corpbiz Trademark Search
A free search tool positioned alongside Corpbiz's broader compliance and filing services. According to its own published description, it uses AI-assisted matching for phonetic and conceptual similarity, with the option to add a professional legal opinion or filing support as a separate service. Cost and class information appear to be handled through that advisory conversation rather than a standalone tool.
LegalWiz Trademark Search
According to its own published description, LegalWiz's search tool checks availability, surfaces similar marks, and adds a simplified objection-risk estimate alongside the results — aimed at being beginner-friendly and easy to interpret. Cost and class guidance are offered through their filing consultation rather than as separate free tools.
IndiaFilings Trademark Search
According to its own published description, IndiaFilings' search tool includes class information, a similar-mark probability estimate, and usage-conflict indicators bundled into the results, along with guidance on choosing alternate names. As with the other filing platforms here, cost and class support are part of their consultation process rather than independent tools.
Why Cost Calculators and Class Finders Matter Just as Much as Search
Search gets most of the attention because it answers the most urgent question — "is this name taken?" But two other questions matter just as much before filing, and they're answered far less consistently across these platforms: which class does my business actually fall under, and what will the government fee actually be?
Based on each platform's own published information, the pattern across LegalWiz, IndiaFilings, QuickCompany, and Corpbiz is similar: class and cost guidance exist, but they're delivered as part of a filing consultation rather than as a tool you can use on your own, without providing contact details or starting a sales conversation. The IP India portal publishes the class list and fee schedule as static documents, which is accurate but not interactive — you still have to do the matching yourself.
IPMitra's class finder and cost calculator are built as standalone tools specifically to close this gap — you can check your class or your exact fee without a search, a sign-up, or a call, and use all three tools together or separately depending on what you actually need at that moment.
How to Decide Which to Use
None of these tools are mutually exclusive, and using more than one isn't redundant — it's reasonable due diligence. A practical approach: run a preliminary search on a self-serve or AI-based tool to get a fast read on obvious conflicts, confirm your class with a dedicated class finder rather than guessing, check the exact government fee for your applicant type before budgeting, and verify anything ambiguous directly on the IP India portal, since it's the authoritative record. If a result is genuinely unclear — a close phonetic match, or a conflict in an adjacent class — that's the point where professional judgment, not another automated tool, adds the most value.
