Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trademark?
A trademark stands as a distinctive emblem, term, or expression, embodying the essence of a brand or organization, setting it apart from its counterparts within the market.
How much does it cost?
The expenses associated with trademark registration fluctuate based on the specific country and the scope of services required. Usually an offer for trademark registration is based on type of trademark, number of classes, priority claim, and registration fee. Our exceptional service ensures utmost transparency, offering you a competitive and predetermined fee for each application within every country.
What is the difference between a trademark, a service mark and trade name?
A trademark serves as a linguistic expression, symbol, visual representation, or artistic design that serves to identify and set apart the origin of tangible goods. Conversely, a service mark operates in a similar manner, but its purpose lies in distinguishing the source of services rather than physical products. On the other hand, a trade name denotes the designated name utilized to identify a specific business or company.
What countries can I register my trademark in?
With an extensive network of experienced attorneys, we offer comprehensive assistance in trademark registration across more than 180 countries globally.
What are ICGS classes?
ICGS stands for International Classification of Goods and Services, also known as the Nice Classification. This classification system provides a comprehensive list of 45 classes from which applicants can select when seeking to trademark a specific good or service. The total number of ICGS classes and the quantity of goods directly impact the registration cost, making it important to carefully choose only those goods and services that will genuinely be produced under the intended trademark.
What are trademark registration stages?
There are 4 main stages – Filing (the attorney prepares necessary documents and files your trademark), Examination (any interested party can file an opposition against the registration of the trademark in question), Granting (you get an electronic certificate in a couple of minutes), and Renewals (pay a trademark renewal fee after 10 years from the date of filing).
What is The Madrid System?
The Madrid System is a global trademark registration system designed to streamline the process for businesses to safeguard their trademarks across 128 countries. However, The Madrid System has its disadvantages,that's why generally it is much cheaper and transparent to apply in each country through iPNOTE.
What is trademark priority?
Claiming priority is a common tactic employed by applicants to safeguard their trademarks and prevent competitors from registering identical trademarks. By leveraging the principle of priority, applicants can base their subsequent trademark applications on an earlier-filed application. This can be done as long as the subsequent applications are submitted within 6 months from the first-filed (priority) application. This strategy effectively strengthens the applicant's position and hinders potential conflicts in trademark registration.
What is necessary to register a trademark?
You need to decide a format of trademark (a picture, a word, or a combination), number of ICGS classes, a proof if you have used a trademark before, and a foreign application if you want to claim priority.

Trademark Registration in Hong Kong: A Comprehensive Guide
When expanding a business into Asia, securing brand protection in key markets becomes essential. Hong Kong, known for its open economy and robust legal system, offers a straightforward yet crucial process for securing intellectual property rights. Understanding the nuances of the filing process ensures that businesses avoid unnecessary disputes and reinforce their market presence.
Why Choose Hong Kong for Trademark Registration?
Hong Kong is not only a global financial hub but also a strategic entry point into mainland China and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Its well-established trade mark laws, clear procedures, and impartial judiciary make it a preferred choice for many companies. Entrepreneurs and corporations alike recognize the value of protecting their brand identity early by proceeding with trademark registration in this vibrant city.
The Intellectual Property Department (IPD) administers all aspects of the trade mark system. A successful filing grants the owner exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with the registered goods or services, helping to secure a competitive edge.
Step-by-Step Guide to Trademark Registration
The application process is systematic and transparent. Here is a detailed breakdown:
1. Pre-application Search: Before proceeding, it is advisable to search existing marks to ensure that your symbol or name is unique. This minimizes the risk of rejection.
2. Application Submission: Requests can be filed online through the IPD’s designated portal or submitted manually. A consultant experienced in intellectual property can assist in preparing the documents.
3. Examination: The IPD reviews whether the application meets all legal requirements. If issues arise, a formal notice will be issued.
4. Publication: If the submission passes examination, it is published in the Intellectual Property Journal, allowing third parties to oppose within three months.
5. Certification: If no opposition is filed or if it is successfully overcome, the mark proceeds to formal approval. A certificate is then issued to the applicant.
The entire procedure typically takes about 6–9 months if there are no complications.
Key Factors to Consider During Trademark Registration
Several important factors should be carefully evaluated to achieve a successful outcome:
- Trademark registration must cover all goods and services relevant to the brand’s activities.
- Choose a distinctive name or symbol to avoid objections and reduce the cost of future disputes.
- Appointing a legal services provider or qualified advisor can streamline the application and help address any potential legal hurdles.
- Keep in mind that a fee is payable at the time of filing. The amount depends on the number of classes under which the mark is submitted.
- Maintaining and renewing the register is crucial. Filings are valid for ten years and can be extended indefinitely.
Benefits of Registering a Trademark in Hong Kong
The advantages of securing exclusive rights extend beyond mere legal protection:
- Sole right to use the mark for specific goods or services.
- Ability to take legal action against infringement.
- Valuable business assets that can be licensed or sold.
- Easier market expansion into mainland China through Hong Kong’s proximity and business networks.
A registered sign or logo can greatly enhance the reputation and value of a company, making it an indispensable asset in today’s competitive markets.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them
While system is efficient, some challenges may arise:
- Similarity with Existing Marks: Conduct thorough pre-application searches and consult a lawyer or attorney to navigate potential conflicts.
- Classification Issues: Properly identifying the correct class or classes for goods and services is essential. A professional specialist can assist in this process.
- Opposition Proceedings: Be prepared for possible objections during the publication stage. Strong evidence and expert representation from a reputable legal practice can be decisive.
- Conclusion
Completing a trademark registration is a critical step for businesses aiming to safeguard their identity in Asia’s competitive landscape. Although the system is user-friendly, partnering with a reliable law firm or engaging a knowledgeable expert can enhance the chances of a smooth and successful experience. With proper guidance and strategic planning, businesses can fully leverage legal framework to build and protect their brands effectively.
