As we earlier reported in the December Newsletter, the timeline
for opposition to the published trade mark applications in the
Trade Mark Journal, No. 2 Vol. 4, ended on Monday, 8 February 2010
after the expiration of statutory period of 2 months. The Registry
will soon convene hearing of several oppositions towards
determining whether a trade mark application should be issued a
certificate of registration or such application should be denied.
The Trade Mark Registry is also in the process of publishing
another edition of its Journal for all pending trade mark
applications.
Moreover, activities at the Trademark Registry have been at a
slow pace in recent times. This is due to the planned relocation of
the registry from their former facility to a new one. Presently,
files are being moved from the old facility to the new one.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
