What registration gives you
A registered trademark is a recorded, official right to a name or logo for the goods and services you list. It makes your claim easy to show to others and gives you a firm basis if someone uses a similar mark.
Protection is territorial. A registration covers the country or region where it was filed, so the list of countries matters as much as the mark.
What is included
- Confirming the mark, the owner and the countries to file in
- Choosing the categories (classes) and wording the list of goods and services
- Preparing and filing the application
- Following office letters and deadlines on your behalf
- Explaining any objection from the office and your options
- Sending you the registration certificate, or a clear report if the application does not succeed
How it works
- Talk and checkWe agree on the mark and countries. If you have not searched yet, we suggest doing that first.
- PrepareWe draft the application and send it to you for approval.
- FileOnce you approve, we file it and send you the filing details.
- ExaminationThe office reviews the application. It may accept it, raise objections, or publish it so others can react. We keep you informed.
- RegistrationWhen the office registers the mark, we send you the certificate.
Each office decides on its own terms and on its own timetable. We can prepare a strong application, but we cannot promise that a mark will be registered or say exactly how long it will take.
