FAQ
Questions about registration
Do I need a search before filing?
It is not mandatory, but a search shows conflicting marks early and avoids losing official fees on a refused application.
Should I register the name and the logo separately?
Separate filings give the broadest protection. A combined filing costs less but protects the name and logo together.
What happens if my application is refused?
A refusal can be appealed within the legal deadline. We prepare the appeal and, where useful, a restricted specification.
Are there fee reductions for SMEs?
The Ministry has announced a 50% reduction in trademark service fees for members of the National SME Programme.
