IP Registrations are all forms of intellectual property that can be issued, registered, or applied for in any jurisdiction by, to, or with a government authority or a private registrar that has been authorized. This includes copyrights, domain names, issued patents, registered trademarks, and pending applications for any of the aforementioned protections.

Trademark Registration Process: File Trademark Registration Application Initial test undertaken. Substantive test undertaken. Once investigation is complete, the trademark will be published in the Department’s Intellectual Property Bulletin allowing for third-party objections. After the public notice is released, 90 days must pass before an objection is filed. The decision to provide a certificate of registration will be made if no objections are raised. If someone files an objection to the trademark registration, investigations will take place. The trademark will be registered if the inquiry validates its issuance. The appellate court may hear an appeal of the decision if the investigation does not support its issuance. After registration, there will be a six-month trial period before the final issuance.
