Trademark application as a whole takes the longest time compared to any application or registration available in india. For any application a period of 18 to 24 months is ideal. Yes, 2 years time is a normal thing for your application to get registered. In some classes like 3,5,9,30 & 35 it may even take a few more years. The reason for this lengthy time frame is that here files are prioritised according to the filing date, therefore the longer it takes the more priority your application gets. The other perk about filing the application is that even if it hasn’t been approved you can use the TM symbol next to your mark, once you have received your allotment number.
