FAQs on Trademark Registration
Why do you need to register a trademark?
Registering a trademark protects you from infringement of your intellectual property by any individual or a company. By registering a trademark, the law assumes that you own the mark and any use, or any association with it must be consented by you. When you register a trademark, you will be able to take legal action against anyone or a company that uses your intellectual property without your permission. Moreover, The Intellectual Property Office anywhere in the world protects your intangible asset by rejecting any potential applications that might be similar to you.
What can be registered as a trademark?
Words, logos, colours or a combination of any of these.
How an application trademark works?
- Choose an identified word, logo, a colour or a combination of any of these to start with.
- Make sure you have searched for your proposed ensuring that this has not been registered.
- To ensure your mark can be registered, you’ll need to compare it against trademarks already registered on the databased of the intellectual Property in different jurisdictions. The following circumstances might cause difficulty for your trademark to be registered successfully. Your mark is identical to a mark already registered on the database. Your mark is identical or similar to a mark already registered but the goods/services classes are different

If the latter is the case, then you will be certain a certain amount of time to rectify the issue, notably between 2 and 3 months.
What is the process of publication?
If the examination has not faced any opposition, then your application will then be published in the trademarks journal for 2 months for the UK, 3 months for the EU and Hong Kong, during which anyone can oppose it. In the event that your trademark has been opposed, you can either :
