What is the trademark application process in Myanmar?

Process of registering Myanmar trademark

The applicant prepares the trademark name, searches the trademark name by himself to ensure the registrability of the trademark, fills in the trademark application form, and submits the prepared materials to the Myanmar Trademark Patent Office, which will examine the application. Notify the applicant of the problematic trademark documents, and the applicant will modify the trademark documents within a time limit. There is no problem with the trademark documents will be awarded the application date and application number.

Trademark documents that pass the formal examination will enter the substantive examination, mainly to examine whether they are registrable, identical or similar to the trademarks applied for earlier, and whether they comply with relevant laws and regulations. If there is no problem with the trademark, it will enter the trademark announcement period, during which anyone can raise an objection to the trademark and make an objection ruling with the applicant. Trademark documents that are rejected by the final ruling or have no objection within the announcement period shall be approved for registration. If the whole registration process goes smoothly, it will take about 6-8 months, depending on the actual situation.
