How we approach it
Frequently asked questions
How long until my trademark is registered?
You can use ™ on filing; full ® registration typically takes several months to over a year depending on objections.
What is a class?
Trademarks are registered under classes of goods/services — filing in the right class(es) is critical.
Can I trademark a logo and a name?
Yes — as separate marks or a combined mark; we advise the best approach.
What's the difference between ™ and ®?
™ can be used as soon as an application is filed, signalling a claimed mark; ® can only be used once the mark is actually registered.
How long does trademark registration last, and does it need renewal?
Once registered, protection lasts 10 years and is renewable indefinitely in further 10-year terms, provided renewal is filed on time.
What happens if someone opposes my trademark application?
You can respond to the opposition with evidence and arguments; we represent you through the opposition proceedings before the Trademark Registry.
