Conditions

Trademark use

since

It is a legal requirement that when making an application you must already be using the trademark or have an intention in good faith to use the trademark in the future.
We also need to know if you have already been using the trademark in case there is an existing earlier trademark in which case we can show your prior use to get your application accepted.
Distinctiveness

Your trademark must be distinctive (i.e. not having words that are commonly used in the industry to describe the above nominated goods and services.)

When examining your application, the examiner considers whether your trademark comprises words that other traders would have a right to use when describing their goods and services in the normal course of trade. As such, make sure that your trademark does not describe the nominated goods and services (even in praisworthy terms such as 'golden bread' or 'superfast plumbing services') and that your trademark comprises at least one imaginary word or a word not normally used to describe the goods and services.

If your trdemark is too descriptive, consider adding an extra distinctive word. Alternatively, consider changing the trademark to a logo trademark, the latter often having distinctive graphical elements making the entire trademark distinctive. Note that it may be possible to register a trademark having descriptive wording if you have enough evidence (such as for more than a 3 year period) to show that your trademark has aquired distinctiveness through your substantial use of the trademark .
