Advise on suitability for registration – Not all marks can be registered. If the mark is not distinctive enough (an everyday object with no defining characteristics) then it will not be accepted by the Trademark Office. Recognizing this at an early stage will save time and allow for necessary changes to be made to allow your mark to be registered. |
| • |
Searching for prior registrations – If your mark is the same as or similar to a mark that has already been registered then it will also not be accepted by the Trademark Office |
| • |
Registration - Once we have confirmed that the mark is suitable to be registered, we can begin the registration process. The total process takes approximately 10 months from start to finish. |
