IP and Trademark Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Protect your brand and logo with legal registration to prevent others from copying your unique business identity.

This scheme allows business owners to officially register their intellectual property to ensure their unique brands and logos are legally protected.

Who it's for

This program is specifically designed for business owners who have developed unique brands. If you have created a distinct identity, name, or logo for your commercial activities, you may qualify to seek formal protection for those assets.

What you get

By completing this process, you receive legal protection for your brand and your logo. This registration serves as an official recognition of your ownership, providing you with the legal standing necessary to defend your brand identity in the marketplace.

What it costs you

There are costs associated with this process. You will be required to pay fees for the initial filing of your application. Additionally, there are costs related to the publication of your trademark, which is a required step in the registration process. You should check the official portal for the current amount of these fees.

The catch to know

A common oversight for many entrepreneurs is failing to realize that trademarking is essential to prevent copycats in the e-commerce space. If you operate an online shop, having this legal protection is a key way to defend your business from others who might try to use your branding to sell similar products.

How to apply

  1. Access the official services portal provided by the Ministry of Economy.
  2. Navigate to the section regarding intellectual property and trademark registration.
  3. Submit the required documentation and details regarding your unique brand and logo.
  4. Complete the payment for the filing and publication fees.
  5. Follow any further instructions provided by the government body to finalize your protection.
