What are the phases for registering a trademark?

1. First of all, to avoid any objections or oppositions a Comprehensive Study will be conducted by an Attorney expert in Intellectual Property to ensure that an identical or similar trademark is not currently registered, plus an analysis will be conducted to make sure that the registration submitted is distinctive enough to obtain a trademark, which will suggest any recommendations if need.

2. Secondly, the Attorney will prepare and fill in the trademark application form and Submit The Trademark Registration Request, thus the authority from the Trademark Office will review the application and may allow the application to proceed to the publication phase, or may object to information contained in the application.

*In case the examiner objects to the application, the client will be notified immediately and informed what further action must be taken in order to proceed. It is important to note that the client will have around three months to formally oppose the registration.

3. Finally, the client receives the Certificate and has the right to use the ® symbol beside the trademark.
