Trademark Certificate

Obtain Your Trademark Registration Certificate and Confirm Your Rights

The trademark registration certificate is the official document issued by the Trade Marks Registry once a mark has been accepted, advertised in the Trademark Journal, and not successfully opposed. It is proof that your trademark is registered and that you hold exclusive rights over it, and it allows you to use the registered trademark symbol. The certificate also forms the basis for enforcing your rights and recording the mark as a business asset.

We track your application through to issuance, retrieve the certificate, and guide you on using and protecting your registered mark. Obtaining the certificate is the culmination of trademark registration, and from there we help you stay protected through timely renewals. For the full journey, see our trademark overview.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trademark registration certificate?

It is the official document issued by the Trade Marks Registry confirming that a trademark has been registered. It records the mark, the proprietor, the class, and the registration details, and serves as proof of your rights.

When is the trademark certificate issued?

The certificate is issued after the mark has been examined, advertised in the Trademark Journal, and has cleared the opposition period without a successful opposition. The Registry then grants registration and issues the certificate.

What rights does the certificate provide?

The certificate confirms your exclusive right to use the registered trademark for the goods or services covered, and provides a strong basis to take legal action against infringement and unauthorised use.

Can I use the registered trademark symbol after getting the certificate?

Yes. Once the trademark is registered and the certificate is granted, you can use the registered trademark symbol with your mark to show that it is a registered trademark.

Is the trademark certificate valid forever?

The registration is valid for ten years and must be renewed to remain in force. The certificate evidences the registration, but you must file renewals on time to keep your rights active.
