    • Description

  • 1. What is a Trade Mark ? A trademark is a word, personal names, letters, numerals, figurative elements or combination of colours. It is used to distinguish the goods and services of one trader from those of another. A registered trade mark gives you the exclusive legal right to use, license or sell it for the goods and services for which it is registered. 2. Why register a trade mark? When you have registered your trade mark, you have the exclusive right to use the trade mark in relation to the goods and services for which the mark is registered. If other traders use your trade mark in Hong Kong in relation to the same or similar goods or services without your consent, they may be liable for infringement of your mark. You may take legal action and claim for damages. If you do not register your mark, it will be difficult to prove that your are the ¡®owner¡¯ of the mark. 3. Is any mark can be registered? No. A mark must have some element of distinctiveness which serves to distinguish goods/services sold under the mark from those of others. It is difficult to register a trade mark that describes your goods (eg. Radio) and services (eg. Electrician). It must not be a sign that other traders may wish to use to promote or describe their goods and services, nor can it mislead the public about the nature of your goods and services. 4. Application Examination Procedure a) Searching the mark b) Submitting application form c) Consideration and objection d) Waiting for the approval e) Collection of certificate 5. How long does the process take? The total process takes about 6 to 9 months. Within two months after filing the trade mark application, Trade Mark Registry will issue an examination report to analyze whether the trade mark can be registered. After all the criteria raised by Trade Mark Registry have been met, the trade mark application will be published on government journal for three months. When there is no one opposes the trade mark application within the three month period, the trade mark application is then completed. 6. Will the registration of trade mark expired? Can it be renewed? The initial trade mark registration is effective for 10 years. It can be renewed for 10 years each time. 7. What is the meaning of "TM" and "R" ? Are there any limitations to use these symbols? "TM" stands for "Trade Mark". It indicates that the public can recognize the specific brand, goods and services through this trade mark. The "TM" symbol can be used either or not the trade mark is registered. The symbol "R" means that this trade mark is a registered trade mark. It is illegal to use the symbol "R" if you have not registered the trade mark in the local Registry.
