Processing time of trademark applications
The processing time of an application depends on any found deficiencies in the application, any obstacles to registration, and how quickly you respond to our office actions.
At the PRH, processing time means the time from receiving an application until it is registered. If the application cannot be registered straight away, the processing time means the time within which we send you an office action.
The processing time is an estimate that may change according to the processing status.
In week 1, we process
- national trademark applications in 17 working days
- designations of international registrations in 5 working days
- applications concerning a registered trademark in 6 days.
Please note that the processing time may be longer.
Please note that the proposed trademark is given protection from the application date (filing date) onwards against any trademark applications filed later.
