How long registration takes
Trademark registration is rarely quick. In most cases the process runs for more than a year, although the exact timeline depends on the country where you apply.
Before you file
Before you start using your mark or submit an application, it is important to carry out a Trademark Comprehensive Study. It helps you check the situation up front, so you do not commit to a mark that could run into problems later.
How long a registration lasts
Once your trademark is registered, it is generally valid for ten years, counted from the acceptance of the application. Keep in mind that registration terms can also differ from one country to another.
