Services

As Registered Trademark Agents, we will take you through the process of registering your trademark in an efficient and professional manner.


The process of registering your trademark will take approximately 6 months.

In order for your trademark to be approved for registration, certain requirements must be met under the Trade Marks Act. Our experienced staff will carry out a search in order to prevent possible Trademark infringement. Databases of registered of pending Trademarks will be searched to determine that no identical trademark exist.

Once we are satisfied with the results of the searches, then we will proceed to lodge your application with the Patents Office. Before lodging this application, we will help you to decide what classes of goods/services you wish to have your trademark registered and protected under. The structure of your application is of great importance as it determines the scope of protection and the possibility of being opposed. Our expertise will guide you through the application process.

Once your application has been lodged with the Patents Office it will be examined to determine its suitability for registration an absolute grounds. It will then be sent forward for publication (3months) in the Official Journal. Provided there are no third party objections the application will be sent forward for registration. On registration, a certificate will issue from the Patents Office and you as owner will hold an exclusive right to use this trademark.

Our service also extends to the area of investigating complaints of trademark infringement. If you believe that someone is illegally utilising your registered trademark, we act for you by issuing letters of warning or claim, instituting legal action or entering opposition procedures..
