When clients use this
Common situations we see.
Launching a new brand
You want to file before launch so the brand is yours from day one.
Received an objection
Examination report has arrived and you have 30 days to respond — properly.
Opposition filed
A third party has opposed your application and you need to file a counter-statement.
Brand portfolio cleanup
You have multiple brands and want a clean, renewal-tracked IP register.
FAQ
What clients usually ask.
How long does trademark registration take?
Filing is immediate. Full registration typically takes 18–24 months assuming no objections or oppositions.
Do I need to file in multiple classes?
Often yes. We map your actual goods/services to classes and file only what is needed — not class-stacking.
What if my mark is opposed?
We file a counter-statement and coordinate the hearing through a suitable IP advocate.
Can I file the logo and wordmark separately?
Yes — and often we recommend it. We explain the trade-offs before you spend on multiple applications.
