Facts
Requirements for obtaining trademark protection
The trademark may not have been used or registered previously for similar goods and services by another individual or legal person. It is also important to remember that trademark may not be descriptive for the goods or services it is to be registered for.
Term of protection
The term of protection for a trademark registration is unlimited. Trademark registration must be renewed periodically by paying a renewal fee, usually every 10 years. There is a requirement that the trademark must be used, otherwise there is a risk that its registration will be revoked.
To consider
Use your trademark, for example, by labelling the product, its packaging and any documents that accompany the product. Use the trademark in all marketing activities, including on the website. Through the use of the trademark you strengthen its protection.
