Dear Mr. Naiju,

India is a member to the Vienna Agreement. These are internationally accepted standards for logo.

The Trade-marks Database can also be searched by the graphic elements of the trade-mark design (often referred to as a "logo" or "symbol"). In this tutorial the "symbol"/"logo" will be referred to as the "design" so as to maintain consistency with the terminology of the Trade-marks Database. In this lesson you will learn the following:

• Vienna Codes
• Organization of Vienna Codes
• Search by design using Vienna Codes

Vienna Codes

An internationally-accepted standard has been developed to classify the design of trade-marks where each graphic element in a trade-mark design is assigned a numerical code. This standard is referred to as a "Vienna Code Classification."
