‘Trade Mark Attorneys’

A trade mark is a logo, slogan or name that distinguishes your goods or services from others.

Trade marks are registered in terms of the South African Trade Marks Act No 194 of 1993 and subject to certain requirements may be renewed indefinitely, thereby ensuring the continuity of your brand.

If you are in the process of building the reputation for your brand, you need to protect it from competitors who may try to imitate your product.

To ensure that the buying public does not confuse your brand with others, registering a trade mark is a cost-effective way of protecting your name and reputation.

Once a trade mark is registered in South Africa, it needs to be renewed every 10 years to stay in force.

Trade Mark attorneys would require you to provide them with a copy of your intended  mark (name, slogan or  logo).

Trade Mark attorneys would also require details of all products or services that you intend applying the trade mark to.

Trade marks are registered at the South African Trade Marks Office and foreign trade mark registrations may be obtained should you wish to market your product in foreign countries.
