Availability search:

An availability search is done to determine whether the mark is available under the relevant class. If the trademark is fully free within the class then you can be sure to proceed with the registration.

Application-Acknowledgement:

Once you confirm that the trademark is available then you can continue with the relevant statutory application form that contains all the personal information of the owner of the mark.

The information that will be checked at this stage also includes the name or whatever the person wants to register.

After the submission and payment of the required fees, the Registry will issue an Acknowledgement Form to the accredited agent confirming receipt of the application;

 

Acceptance:

Upon acknowledgement of the application, the trademark will be examined by the Registry to confirm its distinctiveness and to ensure that it is not in conflict with any previously registered trademark. An Acceptance Form will be issued where the trade mark is deemed satisfactory by the Registry;

Publication of the Trademark:

After the Acceptance Form has been issued by the Registry, the trademark application will be published in the Trademarks Journal. The publication is a public notification to interested parties who may have any reservations on the registration of the trademark. Any person who may have an objection to the registration of the trademark is required to file same with the Registry within 2 months of the publication; and

Issue of a Certificate of Registration:

Where no objection is filed against the registration of the trademark or where such objection is withdrawn or overruled, the applicant will be issued a Certificate of Registration by the Registry.

It is important to note that a trademark registration is valid for a period of 7 years at the first instance and subsequently renewable every 14 years after.
