Trade Mark Registration

Trademark is a visible sign that is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of different enterprises. A trademark relates to goods whereas a service mark relates to services.

Trademark may consist of a word(s), a symbol(s), a device(s), letters, numerals, a name, surname or geographical name, a combination or arrangement of colors and shapes of goods or containers etc. A mark should be a visible and a distinctive sign and it should always be capable of distinguishing the goods or services of different enterprises.

The applicant or the IP agent must file an application.

The process starts with a mark examination at the IP office or filling of the trademark application.

Once the application has been evaluated, examined and accepted by the NIPO office, it will call for publication.

If there is no objection from the public after 3 months, the NIPO office will call for the registration fee for certification.
