Trademark and legal-status clarification
Registration protects the mark, not the fee schedule
This clarification prevents the trademark certificate from being presented as governmental approval of membership, affiliation, payments, or organisational authority.
Registered Trademark No. 614993
The registration relates to the registered composite mark substantially as shown. The certificate identifies Class 38 and refers to a back-page specification for the protected services.
Trademark registration does not, by itself, establish incorporation, charity registration, tax exemption, governmental endorsement, approval of the fee structure, authority to collect donations, institutional affiliation powers, appointment powers, or permission to claim governmental, diplomatic, police, court, regulatory, or United Nations status.
Use of the organisation’s name, logo, seal, documents, cards, certificates, letterhead, or digital identity remains subject to written authorisation and applicable intellectual-property rights.

Direct answers
Frequently asked questions
Concise answers for applicants, members, institutions, and third parties reviewing the fee policy.
Does payment guarantee membership approval?
No. Payment does not guarantee approval, category assignment, designation, office, affiliation, authority, or any other status. Every application remains subject to verification, interview, eligibility review, due diligence, and formal approval.
What are membership and affiliation fees used for?
Fees are organisational receipts used solely for lawful operational, administrative, managerial, verification, technology, communication, printing, professional, compliance, human-rights awareness, educational, public-welfare, and approved community-participation costs.
Does Executive Member or Patron Member mean an office-bearer position?
No. Executive Member and Patron Member are membership categories only. They do not confer an executive office, management authority, voting right, appointment, designation, fundraising authority, or permission to represent or bind the organisation.
Are membership fees donations or investments?
No, unless separately and expressly documented under a lawful charitable arrangement. Membership and affiliation charges are organisational subscription, processing, administration, verification, and service fees. They are not investments, loans, refundable deposits, share capital, or payments for influence or authority.
Can an affiliated institution use the IHRM name or logo after paying the fee?
Not automatically. Institutional affiliation becomes effective only after due diligence, competent approval, payment through an official channel, execution of a written affiliation agreement, and activation of the official record. Any use of the name, logo, or trademark requires written permission within the agreement.
Can payment be made to an individual member or office-bearer?
No. Payment must be made only through an officially authorised bank account, gateway, payment link, or another channel confirmed in writing by the Membership Secretariat, and an official receipt should be obtained.
What happens when membership expires?
Expired membership must not be represented as active. Verification status may be updated, the QR code or card may be disabled, and renewal remains subject to good standing, updated information, the prescribed fee, and administrative approval.
Does Trademark Registration No. 614993 approve the fee structure?
No. The trademark registration protects the registered composite mark within its registered scope. It does not constitute government or IPO approval of membership fees, affiliation charges, organisational status, charity status, tax exemption, designation, or authority.
Apply, pay, and verify only through official channels.
Membership and affiliation remain subject to review, approval, written authority, good standing, and public verification.
