Pre-filing Trademark Search (Optional but highly recommended)

Before adopting and promoting a new name, it is advisable a trademark search be conducted prior to using or applying to register a mark in order to ascertain whether the use of your mark is likely to infringe prior registered marks. Our trademark search report will be available within 5 (five) working days. It identifies all similar existing registered trademarks to the one you are proposing. It also include our advice on availability and registrability to assist you in making a decision to proceed with registration or make amendments to the proposed trademark.


Examination, Publication & Granting Process

Under the old Trademark Law No. 15/2001:

​Substantive Examination. 
After the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (the Directorate General) determines that you have met the filing requirements, the application is reviewed by the Examiners at the Directorate General for a number of months to determine whether it complies with all applicable laws. The Examiners will also search the Directorate General records to determine if a conflict, i.e., a likelihood of confusion, exists between the mark in the application and another mark that is registered or pending in the Directorate General.

If the Examiners decide that a mark should not be registered, the Directorate General will issue a letter (Office action) mentioning any substantive reasons for refusal. If the Directorate General send an Office action, the applicant’s response to the Office action must be received in the Directorate General within thirty (30) working days of the mailing date of the Office action, or the Directorate General will issue a final refusal.

If the applicant’s response does not overcome all objections, the Directorate General will issue a final refusal. To attempt to overcome a final refusal, the applicant may, for an additional fee, appeal to the Trademark Appeal Board, an administrative tribunal within the Directorate General.

Publication & Opposition.  In case that the application is allowed or if the applicant overcomes all objections, it shall be published for three (3) months for public inspections and opposition. During the publication, any party may file an opposition with the Directorate General against your trademark application. If no opposition is filed or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the application shall be granted registration and a Certificate of Registration will issue.

Unless something unforeseen (e.g. office action or opposition) comes up during the process, a standard registration requires between 18 and 30 months to complete. However, you get priority protection from the first day of filing your application. The detail procedure of registration of a trademark can be found in Trademark flow chart.

Under the new Trademark & Geographical Indication Law No. 20/2016:

​
Publication & Opposition.  In case that the application is allowed or if the applicant overcomes all objections, it shall be published for two (2) months for public inspections and opposition. During the publication, any party may file an opposition with the Directorate General against your trademark application. If no opposition is filed or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the application shall be granted registration and a Certificate of Registration will issue.

Substantive Examination. 
After the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (the Directorate General) determines that you have met the filing requirements, the application is reviewed by the Examiners at the Directorate General for a number of months to determine whether it complies with all applicable laws. The Examiners will also search the Directorate General records to determine if a conflict, i.e., a likelihood of confusion, exists between the mark in the application and another mark that is registered or pending in the Directorate General.
