Trademark Registration involves the process of legally protecting a brand name, logo, or slogan used to identify goods or services. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Filing without a proper prior search, risking objections or rejection.
Mistake 2
Choosing the wrong class of goods/services.
Mistake 3
Not responding to examination reports within the deadline.
Mistake 4
Failing to monitor and oppose conflicting marks filed by others.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Clear representation of the mark (wordmark, logo, or both), List of goods/services the mark will be used for, Proof of prior use, if claiming use since an earlier date, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Trade Marks Registry.

- Clear representation of the mark (wordmark, logo, or both)
- List of goods/services the mark will be used for
