Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How long does it take for a mark to be registered?

Answer:
It is difficult to calculate how long it will take for an application to become a registration. You should receive a response from the Office within six to seven months from filing the application.

Question: If an applicant submits a specimen, is a drawing still required?

Answer:
Yes. A drawing is required in all applications, and is used by the Office for several purposes, including printing the mark in the Official Gazette, and on the registration certificate.

Question: Do you need to be a corporation to obtain a trademark?

Answer:
No. The trademark applicant is the one who owns the mark. Normally the person who produces the goods or who renders the services related to the mark controls the use of the mark.
