The purpose of using a trade mark is to uniquely identify your products or services to potential customers. Registration of a trademark helps prevent competitors of your business from stealing your business name, logo, or slogan. Registration also protects you against misappropriation by confusingly similar marks used by competitors. Protecting your unique name, logo, or slogan in the form of a trade mark is one of the most important investments in your business.
The cost depends on the number of classes in which a mark is to be protected. Our professional fee for one-class application is R2000 + R590 Govt fee. There will be a final registration fee to obtain the hard copy certificate and mail it to you. No additional fees unless there is a refusal or opposition.
Once your application is filed, it takes 6-12 months to be examined. If the application is accepted, it will be published in the Patent Journal for opposition purposes. Third parties will have 3 months from the date of publication to oppose your application. If your application is not opposed, it will proceed to registration.

The registration of a company name does not have the same effect as the registration of a trade mark. The owner of a trade mark has rights superior to those of the incorporator of a company in the sense that the trade mark owner can lodge a complaint with the Companies Tribunal or the High Court on the basis that the company name is identical or confusingly similar to their registered trademark.
