If you want to trademark a product, logo or slogan you will need to send the details of the products and all the services you intend to use it for, to the trademark lawyers of Smit & Van Wyk.

It is a requirement so that the trademark lawyers can file the trademark application for each of the international classes related to the specific products or services. The trademarks will be registered at the South African Trademarks Office.

In terms of foreign office applications, it is best to use trademark lawyers for the process.

Our trademark lawyers will conduct searches before registering the trademark to establish whether your trademark is not already registered or is similar or identical to one that is registered.
