Intellectual Property News and Interesting Facts
The function of trademark lawyers is to ensure that the intellectual property of businesses and other legal entities are protected, specifically concerning the distinctive signs or indicators they use to identify their product, service or brand and to distinguish it from that of competitors.
Trademarks can be registered, which will prohibit other businesses to use the same or relatively similar trademarks to promote their goods, thus leeching of your success and even potentially tarnishing your reputation in the process.
Some of the leading trademark lawyers in South Africa can be found at Smit & Van Wyk Incorporated.
We specialise in the legal matters surrounding intellectual property, and our expert trademark lawyers are able to give you advice on this matter and guide you through the process in such a way that your interests are always the number one priority.

Hi, I want to know how much it is to register a trademark and where can I get the forms for registration

Dear William, you can download the forms from the CIPC website at http://www.cipc.co.za. However, we would advise you to use an IP attorney to register the trade mark for you, as the prosecution to registration of the trade mark can be bit complex. For more information on the process to follow when you use an IP attorney, we shall contact you directly.
