Process of TM Registration for Recipe Name

• In order to obtain a trademark registration for
  the name of your dish, you need to come up with a
  distinctive name that would help people associate
  the dish with your brand. Only such names will be

  simple online process. The application must be
  filed with the necessary supporting documents, as
  prescribed by the Trademarks Act, 1999.

  preliminary trademark search for the name you
  want to register.
