Understanding the international differences
Although these systems help significantly in making the international trademark registration process smooth, the differences are inevitable. Hence, there is a need to stay prepared, know the differences well, and understand how you can meet them in the best possible manner to go ahead with filing your trademark application. For starters, you need to know that every country has different rules and regulations in the trademark registration process and the concepts corresponding to the terms ‘distinct’ and ‘trademarkable’ may vary as well. Furthermore, every nation has its specific grounds for refusal, due to which, there is a need to know them before filing your trademark application. You should also put in sincere efforts for ensuring that your trademark application is as specific as possible corresponding to the services or products for which you are going to use your proposed mark. It is also imperative to read the guidelines of the IP office of the nation in which you are looking forward to seeking trademark protection. If you wish to file a trademark application in multiple countries worldwide, you may get in touch with a Trademark Attorney possessing appropriate knowledge of the required paperwork and different systems.
