Steps for Trademark Registration in the European Union (EUIPO)

01

Trademark Search

Search the EUIPO database to check for existing trademarks across all EU member states and avoid potential conflicts.

02

File the Application

Submit your trademark application via the EUIPO online system, selecting the appropriate classes and mark type.

03

Formal Examination

EUIPO examines the application to ensure it meets all formal requirements and classification standards.

04

Substantive Examination

Examiner checks if the trademark is distinctive and not descriptive or misleading under EU law.

05

Publication in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin

The trademark is published in the EUIPO Bulletin for opposition by third parties within a fixed period.

06

Opposition (3 Months)

Third parties may file an opposition within 3 months if they believe the mark infringes on their rights.

07

Registration

If no opposition is filed (or opposition is resolved), the trademark is registered and published in the Register.

08

Trademark Validity

An EU trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date and grants protection across all EU countries.

09

Renewal

The trademark can be renewed indefinitely for 10-year periods by paying the renewal fee before expiry.

Registering a trademark through the EUIPO provides unified protection across all EU member states with a single application. It’s crucial to select the right goods and services classes to ensure comprehensive coverage.

The process typically takes 4–6 months if no opposition is filed. If opposed, the timeline may extend based on legal proceedings.

Our legal team offers end-to-end assistance for EU trademark registration—from preliminary search and classification to opposition handling and renewal.

Trademark Registration in the EU for African Businesses Start Strong, Stay Protected

African entrepreneurs, startups, and companies increasingly aim to expand their brands into international markets — including Europe. One of the most effective ways to protect your brand across the entire European Union is by registering a European Union Trademark (EUTM) through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

A single EUTM application grants protection in all 27 EU member states, making it a cost-effective and centralized solution. Whether you’re exporting goods to Europe, launching an eCommerce store, or setting up a partnership in the EU, we can help you register your trademark and secure your brand in one of the world’s largest economies.

We assist African businesses and individuals with the full process — from trademark search to filing and legal representation before the EUIPO.

✅ Frequently Asked Questions

Can African companies register a trademark with the EUIPO?
+
Yes. Any individual or company from Africa (or any non-EU country) can apply for a European Union Trademark (EUTM). However, they must appoint a European-based legal representative. We provide this service.
What is a European Union Trademark (EUTM)?
+
A EUTM is a single trademark registration that provides exclusive rights across all 27 EU member countries. It is managed by the EUIPO, based in Alicante, Spain.
Why should African businesses register a trademark in the EU?
+
• Protect your brand across the entire EU with one application
• Prevent others from using or registering similar marks
• Support expansion into the European market
• Strengthen international brand credibility
• Enforce rights through EU courts and customs
What is the process to register a trademark with the EUIPO?
+
1. Trademark search (to check availability)
2. File the application online
3. Examination by the EUIPO
4. Publication in the EU Trademark Bulletin
5. Opposition period (3 months)
6. Registration if no objections
How long does the EUTM registration take?
+
If there are no objections or oppositions, a trademark can be registered in 4 to 6 months.
How long is an EU trademark valid?
+
Once registered, the trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years.
Does an African business need a local EU representative?
+
Yes. Non-EU applicants, including those from Africa, are required to have a professional representative based in the EU to handle the application and official communication. We provide this representation.
Do I need to use my trademark in Europe before registering it?
+
No. Use is not required at the time of filing. However, if the trademark is not used for 5 consecutive years after registration, it may be vulnerable to cancellation for non-use.
What if someone opposes my trademark application?
+
During the 3-month opposition period, third parties can challenge your trademark. We offer legal services to defend your application or negotiate settlements if needed.
What are the costs of EU trademark registration?
+
The official EUIPO fee starts at €850 for one class, €50 for the second class, and €150 for the third. Additional service and legal fees apply for non-EU applicants — we offer transparent packages for African businesses.
Can I expand protection beyond Europe later?
+
Yes. You can use your EUTM as a basis for international applications through the Madrid Protocol to protect your mark in countries like the USA, UK, China, and more.
Can you assist African clients remotely?
+
Absolutely. We work with African entrepreneurs, exporters, and legal firms across the continent and offer end-to-end services remotely, including consultations, filings, and EU representation.

    🇺🇳 Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an industrial design, and why should I register it?
    +
    An industrial design protects the visual appearance of a product—its shape, pattern, lines, or colors. Registration helps prevent others from copying or using your design without permission.

    We help you file and manage this protection globally through WIPO.
    What is the WIPO Hague System, and how does it benefit me?
    +
    The Hague System lets you protect your design in multiple countries through a single application. Instead of filing in each country separately, you file once with WIPO.

    We simplify the process and handle the entire filing on your behalf.
    Who can file through the Hague System?
    +
    If you’re a national, resident, or have a business presence in a Hague Agreement member country, you can file.

    Not sure if you qualify? Our team can evaluate your eligibility and provide the best filing route.
    Can you help with filing multiple designs?
    +
    Absolutely. A single application can include up to 100 designs (within the same class).

    We’ll prepare and structure your application to maximize cost-efficiency and legal coverage.
    Why use your services instead of filing directly with WIPO?
    +
    While direct filing is possible, the process can be complex and technical.

    With us, you get:
    • Professional preparation of all documents
    • Compliance with WIPO requirements
    • Management of design images, Locarno classifications, and priority claims
    • Ongoing support and monitoring
    • Avoidance of costly errors or rejections
    How much does it cost?
    +
    WIPO fees include a basic fee, publication fee, and country-specific fees.

    We provide transparent quotes, including WIPO fees and our service charges.

    Use WIPO’s Fee Calculator, or contact us for a detailed estimate based on your target countries.
    How long does the protection last?
    +
    Protection is initially granted for 5 years and can be renewed in 5-year periods (up to 15 or 25 years depending on the country).

    We also assist with renewals to keep your rights active.
    How do I start the process with your team?
    +
    Contact us via email or our website form. We’ll:

    • Review your design
    • Identify eligible countries
    • Prepare and file your WIPO application
    • Monitor and manage your registration
    Can I delay the publication of my design?
    +
    Yes. WIPO allows deferred publication in many jurisdictions.

    We can guide you on whether deferred publication is possible for your target countries.
    What documents and information do you need from me?
    +
    To begin, we’ll need:

    • High-resolution images or drawings of the design
    • Applicant details (name, address, nationality)
    • Priority claim documents (if any)
    • List of countries you wish to protect in

    We’ll walk you through every step of document collection and formatting.
    What if I want to update or transfer my design registration?
    +
    No problem. We offer full post-registration support, including:

    • Renewals
    • Change of ownership
    • Address or name changes
    • Designation updates

    Our team ensures all updates are processed accurately with WIPO.
    What if a foreign office raises an objection or refusal?
    +
    Some countries perform substantive examination and may raise objections.

    We coordinate with local associates or representatives in those countries to respond effectively and preserve your rights.
    Why choose us for your international design protection?
    +
    • Expertise in WIPO and IP law
    • Personalized support
    • Fixed and transparent pricing
    • Global associate network
    • Proven track record of successful filings
    Ready to register your design internationally?

      🇬🇧 Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a registered design in the UK?
      +
      A registered design in the UK protects the appearance of the whole or part of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, and ornamentation. It gives you exclusive rights to use the design and stop others from using it without permission.

      We offer full support to help you register your design with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO).
      What types of designs can be registered?
      +
      You can register a wide range of designs, such as:

      • Product shapes (e.g., tools, gadgets, containers)
      • Surface decoration (e.g., patterns, motifs)
      • Graphic user interfaces (GUIs)
      • Fashion and accessories
      • Packaging and branding elements

      We help you assess whether your design qualifies and manage all aspects of the application.
      Why should I register a design in the UK?
      +
      Registering your design provides:

      • Exclusive rights in the UK for up to 25 years
      • Legal protection against copying or imitation
      • Commercial value for licensing or sale
      • Stronger brand protection and investor confidence

      We ensure your registration is properly filed and monitored to maximize legal protection.
      How long does design protection last?
      +
      A UK registered design lasts for 5 years from the filing date and can be renewed every 5 years, up to a maximum of 25 years.

      Our team keeps track of renewal deadlines and handles the paperwork for you.
      What is required to file a design application in the UK?
      +
      To register your design, you need:

      • A clear representation of the design (drawings, photos, or digital renderings)
      • A product name or class (using the Locarno Classification)
      • Applicant details (individual or company)

      We take care of image preparation, classification, and formal submission through UKIPO.
      What makes a design eligible for registration?
      +
      Your design must:

      • Be new (not made public before the application or within 12 months of disclosure)
      • Have individual character (different from existing designs)
      • Not be solely functional

      We help you check the novelty and distinctiveness of your design before filing.
      What is the 12-month grace period?
      +
      If you've already disclosed your design publicly (e.g., on a website, social media, or in marketing), the UK offers a 12-month grace period to still file for registration — but only if the disclosure was made by the designer or with their consent.

      We recommend filing before disclosure, but if it’s already been published, we’ll guide you through your options.
      Can I claim priority from a foreign design application?
      +
      Yes. If you filed a design in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority in your UK application to keep your earlier filing date.

      We handle all priority claims and ensure correct documentation is submitted.
      How long does the design registration process take?
      +
      Designs can often be registered within 1 to 2 weeks if there are no issues with the application.

      We ensure all submissions meet UKIPO requirements to avoid delays.
      Can I register multiple designs in one application?
      +
      Yes. The UK allows you to file multiple designs in one application (called a multiple application), as long as they fall into the same product class.

      We help organize and bundle your designs efficiently to save costs.
      What happens if someone copies my registered design?
      +
      If someone uses, sells, imports, or reproduces your design without permission, you can:

      • Send a cease and desist letter
      • Take legal action through UK courts
      • Claim damages or request an injunction

      We support you in enforcing your design rights through legal partners in the UK.

      Steps for Trademark Registration in the United Kingdom (UK)

      01

      Conduct a Comprehensive Search

      Check the UKIPO database for existing or similar trademarks to avoid conflicts or rejections later.

      02

      File the Application

      Submit your application to the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) with required details and classification.

      03

      Preliminary Examination

      UKIPO reviews the application for completeness, clarity, and legal requirements—not for prior trademarks.

      04

      Receive & Respond to Examination Report

      If there are any formal objections, you’ll have a chance to respond or amend the application.

      05

      Publication in Gazette

      The application is published in the UK Trade Marks Journal for public view and opposition.

      06

      Official Journal Entry

      Your trademark is officially listed in the UK Trade Marks Journal, triggering the opposition window.

      07

      Opposition Period (60 Days)

      Third parties can oppose your application within 2 months of publication if they believe it infringes their rights.

      08

      Issuance of Registration Certificate

      If no opposition is raised (or successfully defended), you’ll receive your official trademark registration certificate.

      09

      Renewal & Maintenance

      Trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely by paying renewal fees before expiry.

      In the UK, trademark rights are governed by the Trade Marks Act 1994 and related regulations. The UK follows a “first-to-file” system, meaning the first person to file a trademark will hold the legal rights—not necessarily the first to use it.

      While unregistered trademarks may have limited protection under the law of “passing off,” only a registered trademark allows you to use the ® symbol and enforce rights across platforms like Amazon, eBay, and others.

      Our legal team supports full lifecycle management of trademarks in the UK—from filing and opposition defense to renewal and portfolio monitoring, all in compliance with UKIPO standards.

      ✅ Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a trademark in the UK?
      +
      A trademark is any word, logo, phrase, symbol, design, or combination that identifies your goods or services and distinguishes them from those of others.
      Why should I register my trademark in the UK?

      Any individual, business, or legal entity, whether based in the UK or abroad, can apply for trademark registration with the UKIPO.

      The steps include:
      1. Trademark search (optional but recommended)
      2. Filing the application with UKIPO
      3. Examination for compliance
      4. Publication in the trademarks journal
      5. Two-month opposition period
      6. Registration certificate if no oppositions are raised

      Can I register a trademark before using it in the UK?
      +

        🇺🇸 Frequently Asked Questions

        What is a design patent?
        +
        A design patent protects the ornamental design of a functional item. Design is inseparable from the article to which it is applied and cannot exist alone merely as a scheme of surface ornamentation. Unlike utility patents that protect how something works, design patents protect how something looks.
        How is a design patent different from a utility patent?
        +
        In general terms, a utility patent protects the way an article is used and works, while a design patent protects the ornamental appearance. A design patent safeguards the way an item looks, not how it works or is used (which can only be protected by utility patents).
        What can be protected by a design patent?
        +
        An ornamental design may be embodied in an entire article (e.g., a vase) or only a portion (e.g., the handle of a cup), or may be ornamentation applied to an article. This includes:

        • Shape and configuration of products
        • Surface ornamentation and patterns
        • Computer-generated icons on screens
        • Unique product appearances
        • Decorative elements applied to articles
        How long does a design patent last?
        +
        A design patent is generally easier to obtain and lasts for a term of 14 years with no additional financial obligations after registration.
        What are the basic requirements for obtaining a design patent?
        +
        The U.S. design patent statute (35 U.S.C. 171-173) states four key requirements:

        • Novelty
        • Originality
        • Ornamentality
        • The subject must be an "article of manufacture".

        Additionally, the design must be non-obvious.
        What does "novelty" mean for design patents?
        +
        The design must be new. Courts apply the "average observer test" to evaluate the novelty of a design, meaning the overall appearance must be different from existing prior art in the eyes of an ordinary observer.
        What is the "originality" requirement?
        +
        A patentable design must be original. You cannot obtain a design patent for something copied from another source. This protects the interests of the original inventor.
        What does "ornamental" mean in design patent context?
        +
        The design must have a unique ornamental appearance. The USPTO examines ornamentality in relation to the product’s function. In general, the design should not be dictated solely by mechanical or functional requirements.
        What is an "article of manufacture"?
        +
        Section 171 requires that the design must be "for an article of manufacture", meaning a man-made tangible object. Thus, prints, pictures, or decorative designs must be applied to such an object to qualify.

          Steps for Trademark Registration in USA

          01

          Comprehensive Search

          Conduct a thorough search to check existing trademarks and avoid conflicts before filing with the USPTO.

          02

          Filing of Application

          Submit the trademark application with the USPTO, including all necessary classifications and filing basis.

          03

          Preliminary Examination

          USPTO examines the application to ensure it complies with legal requirements and doesn’t conflict with existing marks.

          04

          Respond to Office Action

          If the USPTO issues an Office Action, respond with legal arguments or corrections to move the application forward.

          05

          Publication in Official Gazette

          The trademark is published in the USPTO Official Gazette for public notice and possible opposition.

          06

          Opposition Period (30 Days)

          Anyone who believes they will be harmed by the registration can file an opposition within 30 days.

          07

          Issuance of Registration Certificate

          If no opposition (or opposition is resolved), the USPTO issues the trademark registration certificate.

          08

          Maintenance After Registration

          File maintenance documents such as Section 8 Declaration between the 5th and 6th year to keep your trademark active.

          09

          Renewal of Registration

          Trademarks in the USA must be renewed every 10 years to maintain protection and prevent cancellation.

          Registering a trademark with the USPTO gives you nationwide rights and legal ownership of your brand. It is important to select the correct filing basis—either "use in commerce" or "intent to use"—at the time of application.

          The application process can take 8–14 months depending on whether any objections or oppositions are raised. After registration, timely maintenance and renewal filings are required to keep the trademark in force.

          Our firm offers complete legal assistance from search and filing to post-registration maintenance for trademarks in the United States.

            🇵🇰 Frequently Asked Questions

            What is a registered design in Pakistan?
            +
            A registered design in Pakistan protects the aesthetic or visual appearance of an article or product — including its shape, pattern, ornamentation, or configuration — as long as it is original and new.

            We offer complete support to register your design through IPO Pakistan, ensuring your product’s look is legally protected.
            What types of designs can be protected?
            +
            Design protection in Pakistan applies to a wide range of products, including:

            • Packaging and containers
            • Furniture and home goods
            • Fashion accessories and clothing
            • Tools, machinery, and household appliances
            • Toys, electronics, and tech products

            We assess your product and prepare a strong application for design protection.
            Why should I register my design in Pakistan?
            +
            Registering your design offers:

            • Exclusive legal rights over your product’s appearance
            • The ability to prevent others from copying or imitating your design
            • Increased commercial value for licensing or sale
            • Better protection against counterfeiting and unfair competition

            We manage the entire registration process on your behalf, saving you time and ensuring compliance.
            What is the duration of a registered design in Pakistan?
            +
            A design registration in Pakistan is valid for 10 years from the date of filing. It can be renewed for an additional 5 years, for a total of 15 years of protection.

            We track your deadlines and assist with timely renewals.
            What are the requirements to file a design application in Pakistan?
            +
            To register your design, you need:

            • Detailed drawings, images, or representations of the design
            • A description of the article (optional but helpful)
            • The name and address of the applicant
            • A power of attorney if filed through a legal representative

            We prepare and file all required documents on your behalf with IPO Pakistan.
            Is design registration mandatory?
            +
            No, it is not mandatory — but without registration, you have no exclusive legal rights over your design. Registration is the only way to legally protect the appearance of your product in Pakistan.

            We help businesses of all sizes register their designs to prevent unauthorized use.
            What are the conditions for design protection?
            +
            Your design must be:

            • New and not previously published or disclosed
            • Applied to a product that can be manufactured or reproduced
            • Not solely dictated by the product’s technical function

            We review your design’s eligibility and advise if any modifications are needed to meet legal standards.
            Can I register multiple designs in one application?
            +
            No. Each design must be filed as a separate application in Pakistan. However, if you have several variations, we help streamline the process and offer package rates for multiple filings.
            Can I claim priority from a foreign application?
            +
            Yes. Pakistan is a member of the Paris Convention, so if you’ve filed a design in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority in your Pakistani application.

            We handle priority claims and ensure proper documentation is submitted.
            How long does it take to register a design in Pakistan?
            +
            The average processing time is 4 to 6 months, depending on the completeness of your application and the workload at IPO Pakistan.

            We follow up with IPO regularly to keep your registration moving forward and notify you as soon as it’s approved.
            What happens if someone copies my design?
            +
            If your design is registered and someone copies it without your consent, you can:

            • Issue a legal warning (cease & desist letter)
            • File an infringement lawsuit in Pakistani courts
            • Seek compensation and an injunction against further use

            We can assist with enforcement through our IP legal partners in Pakistan.

              🇨🇳 Frequently Asked Questions

              What is a design patent in China?
              +
              A design patent in China protects the visual appearance of a product — including its shape, pattern, color, or any combination of these — as long as it is new, aesthetic, and suitable for industrial application.

              We help clients file and register their designs in China through the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
              What can be protected as a design in China?
              +
              In China, design protection covers:

              • 3D product shapes
              • 2D patterns or graphics on products
              • Packaging designs
              • Interface layouts (GUI elements)
              • Product combinations (e.g., toolkits)

              We will evaluate your product and confirm whether it qualifies for design patent protection in China.
              Why should I register my design in China?
              +
              Registering your design in China:

              • Grants exclusive rights to prevent unauthorized copying or imitation
              • Protects your design in one of the world’s largest manufacturing and consumer markets
              • Helps enforce your rights with customs, marketplaces, and courts
              • Increases commercial credibility and value

              We make the process simple by preparing and filing your application directly with CNIPA.
              How long does design protection last in China?

              A registered design patent in China lasts for 15 years from the date of filing (for applications filed on or after June 1, 2021).

              We track this for you and help manage all timelines and renewals.
              What is required to file a design patent in China?
              +
              You’ll need:

              • High-quality drawings or photos of the design (we can create these for you)
              • A brief design explanation
              • Applicant details (individual or company)
              • Priority documents (if claiming earlier foreign filings)

              Our team handles the entire documentation and filing process on your behalf.
              Can I claim priority from another country?
              +
              Yes. If you’ve filed a design application in another country (such as the U.S., EU, etc.) within the past 6 months, you can claim priority in China under the Paris Convention.

              We help coordinate priority claims with your foreign filings.
              Does China allow international filings under the Hague Agreement?
              +
              Yes, China is a member of the Hague System. You can file a single international design application through WIPO and designate China.

              Whether you file directly or through the Hague route, we assist with either process.
              Do I need a local Chinese address or representative?
              +
              Yes. Foreign applicants must appoint a registered Chinese patent agent.

              Our firm partners with licensed local agents in China to file and manage your design application smoothly and lawfully.
              How long does it take to register a design in China?
              +
              The standard timeline for registration is about 6 to 9 months if there are no objections or corrections required.

              We keep you updated throughout and ensure that your application meets all formal requirements to avoid delays.
              Can I file multiple designs in one application?
              +
              China follows a one design per application rule, but you may file multiple similar designs in one submission if they belong to the same product class.

              We will advise you on whether your designs can be grouped or must be filed separately.
              What happens after my design is registered?
              +
              Once registered:

              • You gain exclusive rights in China for 15 years
              • Your design is listed in the public CNIPA database
              • You can take legal action against infringement
              • You can record your design with China Customs to stop counterfeits at the border

              We provide enforcement support and can assist with monitoring and customs filings.

              Preliminary Examination

              IPO Pakistan examines the application for objections, format, and prior similar trademarks.

              04

              Response to Examination Report

              If objections are raised, file a written reply or attend a hearing to clarify and defend your mark.

              05

              Publication in Official Gazette

              Once accepted, the trademark is published in the IPO Gazette for public notice.

              06

              Printing in Trademarks Journal

              Trademarks are printed in the official journal for final review and record-keeping.

              07

              Opposition Period (60 Days)

              Third parties can oppose the mark within 60 days of journal publication. Extension possible by 30 days.

              08

              Issuance of Certificate

              With the Trade Marks Ordinance 2001, the importance of intellectual property has increased significantly. IPO Pakistan is the sole authority handling trademarks and patents in cities like Islamabad (HQ), Karachi (TMR), and Lahore (Regional Office).

              Infringement: As per Sections 39–41 of the Ordinance, unauthorized use of a registered trademark is a legal offense. Offenders may be penalized under the Trademark Ordinance, Customs Act, or Pakistan Penal Code.

              No Infringement Cases: Section 42 outlines exceptions like fair use, personal names, descriptive usage, or comparative advertising.

              The process may take 12–24 months if no opposition is filed. Early examination (within 3–9 months) may involve objections. Our team supports every stage from filing to legal enforcement and renewal.

              Trademark Registration in Pakistan Start Smart, Stay Protected

              Registering a trademark in Pakistan is an important step to protect your brand identity, products, or services from unauthorized use. In Pakistan, trademarks are registered through the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan) under the Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001. A registered trademark provides legal ownership and exclusive rights across Pakistan. Whether you’re a startup, established business, or international company, we offer complete trademark registration services including name clearance, application filing, and post-registration support. Below are some commonly asked questions to help you understand the trademark registration process in Pakistan.

              ✅ Frequently Asked Questions

              What is a trademark in Pakistan?
              +
              A trademark is any word, logo, symbol, slogan, or combination of these that identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one business from another in the marketplace.
              Why should I register my trademark in Pakistan?
              +
              Registration gives you exclusive rights to use the mark nationwide, prevents others from copying or misusing your brand, and allows you to take legal action in case of infringement.
              Who can apply for a trademark in Pakistan?
              +
              Any individual, company, partnership, or association — local or foreign — can apply for a trademark in Pakistan. We assist both Pakistani and international clients with the full process.
              What is the process for registering a trademark in Pakistan?
              +
              The basic steps include:
              1. Trademark search (optional but recommended)
              2. Filing the application with IPO-Pakistan
              3. Examination by the registrar
              4. Publication in the Trademarks Journal
              5. Opposition period (2 months)
              6. Issuance of Registration Certificate (if no opposition or after successful defense)
              How long does it take to register a trademark in Pakistan?
              +
              It typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete the process, depending on whether there are any objections or oppositions.
              How long is a registered trademark valid in Pakistan?
              +
              A trademark in Pakistan is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely for further 10-year periods.
              Can I file a trademark before using it in Pakistan?
              +
              Yes. Pakistan follows a “first-to-file” system, so you can register your mark even if you haven’t used it yet. However, actual use may be required in legal disputes.
              What if my trademark is similar to an existing one?
              +
              If your mark is confusingly similar to a registered trademark, your application may be refused. That’s why we recommend a trademark availability search before filing, which we can conduct for you.
              What are the fees for trademark registration in Pakistan?
              +
              IPO-Pakistan charges official fees for filing and publication. We charge a separate service fee for our professional assistance. Please contact us for a full quotation based on your needs.
              Can someone oppose my trademark application?
              +
              Yes. After your trademark is published in the Trademarks Journal, third parties have two months to file an opposition. We provide full legal support to respond to and defend against oppositions.
              Do you offer trademark monitoring services in Pakistan?
              +
              Yes. We offer trademark watch services to help you detect any newly filed marks that may conflict with yours and take timely legal action if necessary.
              Can I register a trademark in Urdu or English in Pakistan?
              +
              Yes. You can register trademarks in English, Urdu, or even logographic/script-based designs. We help prepare and file your application in the correct language and format.
