No Guarantee of Trademark Registration.

When applying for trademark registration, a free preliminary search is conducted first. It is important to state that a trademark must be completely different from other trademarks to be registered. For this purpose, a preliminary search is conducted free of charge before the application, but this search covers registered products. In this regard, experts can tell you whether there is similarity with other trademarks. However, there is still no absolute guarantee of trademark registration. There is a possibility that you may receive a rejection.

What should I do if my trademark registration application is rejected?

If you apply for trademark registration and are met with a rejection, there are different alternatives you can pursue. First, you can offer a proposal to the company that registered the trademark before you and take over the brand. Or, if no action has been taken on the trademark you wish to acquire for 5 years, you can file a lawsuit claiming non-use and take over the rights to the trademark.
