Trade mark should be write off in 10 yrs asper indian accounting standard.
But as per ifrs we can write off trade off in 5 to 6 yrs because ifrs is saying any assets shall be depreciated or amortised according to there useful life and as per you useful life is only 5 to 6 yrs .. So you can write off in 5 to 6 yrs but you need to proof that useful life is assets is only 5 to 6 yrs
