The Vienna Codification Process
The Vienna Classification, also called the Vienna Codification, is an international system that categorizes the figurative elements of trademarks. After filing the trademark registration application, the Trademark Registrar will apply the Vienna classification to the trademark's figurative elements.
Trademark Examination
After completing the Vienna Codification, the trademark registration application will be assigned to a Trademark Registrar's officer. The officer will assess the application for accuracy and generate a trademark examination report. Based on this report, the officer can accept the application, allow it for trademark journal publication, or raise objections to the registration process.
In the event of objections, the applicant can address the concerns before the Trademark Officer. If the officer finds the justifications satisfactory, the trademark will be approved for publication in the Trademark Journal.
Trademark Journal Publication
Once the Trademark Registrar accepts the application, the trademark will be published in the Trademark journal. This journal, published weekly, contains details of all trademarks the Registrar receives. Members of the public have the opportunity to raise objections if they believe the trademark registration could harm their interests. If no objections are submitted within 90 days of publication, the trademark will be registered within 12 weeks.
Trademark Hearing
A Trademark Hearing Officer will schedule a hearing if a third party objects to the application. Both the applicant and the opposing party have the chance to present their arguments. Based on the hearings and evidence, the Trademark Hearing Officer will decide whether to accept or reject the brand registration application.
Trademark Registration
In cases where no objections or oppositions are raised, the trademark registration certificate will be prepared and issued. A trademark is officially considered registered when the Trademark Registration Certificate is issued, granting the owner exclusive rights to the mark. For example, a logo trademark registration will be approved if it doesn't receive any objection or opposition.
At this point, the ® symbol can be added to the logo or trademark.
Trademark Objection
Trademark objections are typically one of the initial stages in the trademark registration process. Instead of outright denial, the Registrar seeks valid reasons or explanations regarding the trademark's registrability.
Trademark Opposition
Trademark opposition occurs when a third party files an objection against registering a trademark. The Registry accepts oppositions from any natural or legal person, including individuals, businesses, partnership firms, and trusts.
Trademark Renewal
After successfully registering your trademark, it remains valid for ten years from the filing date. To ensure the continued protection of your trademark, it is imperative to renew it every ten years. This continual renewal of your brand name registration secures your marks from misuse or exploitation
