Frequently Asked Questions
What can be trademarked?
You can trademark signs, design, expression, or sounds which identifies your products or services.
Who can register a trademark in Taiwan?
Any individual, corporation or legal entity may apply to register a trademark in Taiwan. Foreigners can apply to register a mark in Taiwan if they are from a country which is a WTO member or a jurisdiction that protects trademarks on a reciprocal basis with Taiwan. If you or your company is not domiciled or established in Taiwan you must appoint a trademark agent (like MUSA) to register your trademark.
Since private people can register a trademark, if you are setting up a company in Taiwan, you can register the Taiwanese trademark now and later when the company is fully registered, transfer ownership to the new entity. That way your trademark is secure.
How long does it take to register a trademark?
Take Taiwan for example, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) usually approves a trademark application within eight to ten months from the filing date. The duration varies in all countries.
Will you help monitor after trademarks are approved?
Yes, we do, which is part of our Trademark Watch service. We will monitor for other trademarks for similarities in:
- Word meanings, not limited to identical or similar word matches
- Phonetic matches—beyond just identical or similar word and character matches based on visual similarities, our linguists are also able to recognize phonetic (sound) matches
- Visual resemblance of images
- The class and relationship of goods and services through analysis.
