How long does it take for the Trademark Office to process my application?
We will generally prepare and file your application within two business days from receipt of your payment and receipt of all documents necessary to prepare the application.
Once filed, the trademark offices can take anywhere between 4 to 24 months, depending on the territory and the complexity of your case, to process your application for registration.
However, the most important date is the filing date: if registered, protection dates back to your filing date. During the application process, you will be provided with routine updates on the status of your trademark application and are encouraged to contact us.
