Trademark registration process

The trademark registration process may seem too complex and overwhelming at first. Still, it's advisable for applicants to get at least a basic overview to avoid unwanted complications or even losing their application.

The process differs from country to country, but generally, it will break down into the following stages:

  • the assessment of the application by the intellectual property office,
  • the opposition window, where owners of previously registered trademarks can challenge the application and potentially cause it to be dismissed,
  • issuing of the trademark certificate.
