Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply before starting the business?+
A trademark application may generally be filed on a proposed-to-be-used basis, subject to accurate applicant details and eligibility.
Can I use the TM symbol after filing?+
The TM symbol is commonly used to indicate a trademark claim. The registered symbol ® should be used only after the mark is registered for the relevant goods or services.
Does a search guarantee approval?+
No. A search reduces uncertainty but cannot guarantee that the Registry will not object or that a third party will not oppose the application.
Should I file one class or multiple classes?+
The answer depends on current and planned goods or services. Class strategy should balance commercial coverage, cost and genuine business plans.
How long does trademark registration take?+
The timeline varies according to examination, objections, hearings, journal publication, opposition and Registry processing. No fixed approval timeline should be promised.
Important Disclaimer: Trademark search and filing support does not guarantee registration or freedom from third-party claims. Government fees, hearing fees, opposition proceedings, foreign filings, legal opinions and enforcement work are separate unless expressly included.
