Trademark Registration: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TM and R symbols?
TM can be used as soon as an application is filed and claims the mark. R can be used only after registration and carries full statutory protection. Using R without registration is an offence.
Should I register the name, the logo or both?
A wordmark protects the name in any styling; a logo mark protects the design. If budget allows one, the wordmark usually protects more. We advise based on how your brand is actually used.
What happens if someone objects to my application?
The examiner may raise objections or a third party may oppose after publication. Both have structured reply processes with deadlines. Our team drafts responses and represents you at hearings.
Can I trademark a name that is already in use by someone else?
If someone has prior rights in the same or similar business, registration is risky and can invite disputes. That is exactly what our pre filing search evaluates, before you invest in branding.
