Our process
Our step-by-step process
STEP 01
Trademark clearance and feasibility
We search for identical or similar trademarks to identify potential risks before filing the application.
STEP 02
Class definition
Working with legal counsel, we identify the Nice classes that apply to your products or services.
STEP 03
Preparation and filing
We organize your documentation, prepare the application, and formally file it with the SIC.
STEP 04
Formal examination and publication
The SIC reviews the requirements; once met, they publish the application to allow for third-party oppositions.
STEP 05
Substantive examination
The SIC analyzes registrability. We manage any requirements or oppositions that may arise.

Decision and appeals
The SIC grants or denies the registration. We analyze the decision and file appeals if necessary.
