A word mark protects the name itself, in any typeface — not the styling shown here.

Why this mark exists
46Dogs is the part of the ecosystem with no business model and no intention of acquiring one. It exists to feed and care for stray dogs, funded by people who choose to give. That makes the name more sensitive than any commercial brand I hold, not less — someone collecting donations under it, with no connection to the work, would do damage that is very hard to undo. Registering it is the cheapest protection available against that.

Questions about this mark
Not yet. The word mark was filed with the Indian Trade Marks Registry on 2 September 2026 under application 7970541, covering Classes 36, 44 and 45, and is currently ready for examination. Until registration completes it is written as 46DOGS™ rather than 46DOGS®.
Because collecting donations under a familiar name is easy to imitate and hard to undo. Registering the mark is what makes it possible to stop someone raising money in the name of this work without any connection to it.
Class 36 covers charitable fundraising and the handling of donations. Class 44 covers veterinary and animal health services. Class 45 covers animal rescue, shelter, fostering and adoption services.
Once as a word mark and once as a device mark. The word mark protects the name in any styling; the device mark protects the badge artwork as filed. Filing both stops someone using the name with different artwork, or the artwork with a different name.
