Intellectual Property News and Interesting Facts
Trademark applications may be made to the CIPRO (Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office) offices in Pretoria.
If you have a trademark that need registration, you should first establish that the trademark has not been previously registered anywhere at all.
The registration fee is currently R266, which must be handed in to the office along with forms TM1 and TM2.
Although it usually takes up to 18 months for registration to be complete, you may start using the trademarks as soon as the forms have been handed in.
A Trademarks Attorney or an Intellectual Property Attorney may carry out trademark applications on your behalf.
