Questions and answers

How long does trademark registration take in Kazakhstan?

On average 8–12 months from filing to grant of the certificate. Priority is established from the filing date, so it is best to file as early as possible.

Can a brand be registered in several countries at once?

Yes, through the WIPO Madrid System with a single international application. We will help you choose the countries and calculate the fees.

What if the examiner refuses registration?

Most refusals can be overcome with a reasoned response or by amending the list of goods and services. We check the mark before filing to reduce this risk.

What can be patented?

An invention — a new technical solution involving an inventive step; a utility model — a technical solution with simplified requirements and a shorter term of protection; an industrial design — the appearance of a product. We start with a patent search to assess the prospects and choose the right type of protection. Do not disclose the solution publicly before filing — this may destroy its novelty.

Can a patent be obtained abroad?

Yes: through an international application under the PCT procedure or a Eurasian application, which is valid in the member states of the Eurasian Patent Organization. We plan the strategy and budget for official fees in advance.

Shall we discuss your matter?
