The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights would verify whether the application was adequate or not. If the applicant does not meet the requirements, the applicant has an additional 2 months to successfully edit the application.
Step 3. Publishing
Your trademark will be published by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights on its website to see if there will be any objections from others. In the event of objection, the Applicant may make a counter-declaration rejecting the objection. If there is no objection, the applicant may proceed to the next steps.
