Journal Publication and Registration Timetable

After your mark is published

The opposition period runs from the publication date of the Journal. Then there is a two month period in which anybody may make observations on its acceptance or oppose its registration. This period can be extended to three months by anyone who is considering opposing the registration of your mark.

At the end of the opposition period

Provided that nobody has objected to it, your trade mark will become registered approximately two weeks after the opposition period ends. This is called the registration date.

Registration Certificate

The registration certificate will be produced on the registration date. We will send it by email or by post to your address for service.
