Attorneys | Legislation | Advocates
September 28, 2009
Attorneys
The function of attorneys varies from one legislation to another. In South Africa attorneys function in much the same way as solicitors in the UK and do not present verbal argument in Court – that is left to the advocate (or barrister in UK).
The attorneys at our firm, most of whom are also qualified engineers or scientists, are all dedicated individuals, skilled in their fields of practice, and can provide clear advice on complex legal matters to clients from all over the globe.
We have two kinds of intellectual property attorneys in South Africa, patent attorneys and trademark attorneys, and each has a qualification from the South African Institute of Intellectual Property Law.
In addition they must adhere to a code of ethics laid down by that Institute.

Trademark Process | TM1 and TM2 Submit Forms
September 28, 2009
Attorneys
The trademark process is relatively simple but can appear to be rather lengthy:
- Establish that the trademark has not been previously registered anywhere else in the world.
- Once this is established submit forms TM1 and TM2 to the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office in Pretoria along with the appropriate registration fee.
- Once these forms have been handed in, you may now start using your trademark, although registration will not be complete for another eighteen months.
For any other information regarding the registration of trademarks you should talk with one of our Trademark attorneys.
