IdeaNav now registers trademarks

IdeaNav has extended their patent and design filing services to include trade mark registrations.

Sara Spiro, joined us in August 2014 – she was previously employed as a trademark attorney at Bowman Gilfillan and Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs. As with our patent, design and prototyping services, our trade mark pricing is the lowest in the industry. And, there are no hidden costs. For example, unlike most other firms, we do not charge an additional R800 upon trade mark registration.

Call us to discuss your branding and how best to protect it. That does not mean filing numerous trade marks. If one trade mark registration is sufficient, we will tell you. And, we will give you honest feedback regarding whether we consider your mark to be too descriptive. Ultimately, if you decide not to file a trade mark or conduct a search, we won’t surprise you with an invoice.

To conduct a trade mark registrability search typically takes 4-5 days, and to file a trademark typically takes 3-4 days. Once registered, no-one will be able to use a mark that is confusingly similar to your trade mark in respect of goods / services within the same class in which your trade mark has been registered.

We also offer the most competitive rates for extending trade marks throughout Africa.
