What is a Trademark?

Retail.jpg

Definition

A trade mark is a sign that distinguishes the goods and services of a business from others. Typically a trade mark can be words (including personal names), indications, designs, letters, characters, numerals, figurative elements, colours, sounds, smells, the shape of the goods or their packaging or any combination of these.

​​

Note

For a sign to qualify as a trademark, it must be representable in a graphical form to be eligible for registration.

What are the Benefits of
Registering a Trademark?

Benefits

  • ​Legal Protection: Registering a trademark, offering protection against unauthorised use by others, empowers the trademark owner with the legal right to initiate legal proceedings against any third party infringing upon the trademark.

  • Preventive Measure: Registering a trademark can serve as a preventive measure by establishing a legal basis for ownership and providing a means to enforce exclusive rights, thereby preventing others from registering the same or similar trademarks, deterring potential infringers and safeguarding against unauthorised use of the trademark.

  • Brand Recognition: A registered trademark helps in creating brand recognition and building trust with consumers and clients, as it distinguishes your products or services from competitors.

What is the Duration of Trademarks?

Duration

  • ​In Hong Kong, a registered trade mark is initially registered for 10 years.

  • The registration of the trade mark can be renewed for further periods of 10 years each, with the payment of renewal fees.

  • The registration of a trade mark can therefore last indefinitely if it continues to be renewed.​​​

​

Note

A registered trade mark may be challenged in revocation proceedings if it is not used in Hong Kong for a continuous period of 3 years.
