Thailand
is not party to any international agreements on trademark ownership. This means
that if your trademark is not registered in Thailand it is potentially at risk.
To regain control of your mark after it has been registered by another, for
whatever reason, is a time consuming and expensive business, and while you may
indeed have better claim to the mark, you may still lose it. For modest fees we
will protect your interests in Thailand. Although Thai law does, in certain
circumstances, recognize the legality of foreign trademarks, such trademarks
provide only limited protection. Thailand is not party to any international
conventions or treaties providing reciprocal enforcement with regard to
trademarks. Only by registering locally can a trademark owner be assured of his
rights within the kingdom.
Trademarks Registration in
Thailand
Trademarks,
collective marks, certification marks, and service marks may be registered in
Thailand. Marks may include three-dimensional designs, photographs, paintings,
device, design, words, letters, numerals, phrases, configurations of goods, and
unique color combinations.
The Needed Documents for Thailand
Trademark Registration
The law
stipulates that the applicant or his agent must have a fixed place of business
or an address in Thailand. Non-resident applicants can only resister a
trademark by appointing an agent who is a Thai resident and granting him or her
power of attorney.
Thailand Trademark Registration
Approval
The
Trademark Registrar will review the application to ensure that the mark is
distinctive and does not resemble an existing trademark or a Thai national or
royal emblem. It is often helpful to
perform a trademark search prior to the submission of the application to avoid
possible complications in the event that similar trademarks are
registered. If the Trademark Registrar
determines that the mark is otherwise acceptable, the trademark will be
published in the Trademark Journal. If
the mark is not challenged, a registration certificate will be issued after 90
days of publication.
Time for Thailand Trademark
Registration
The
process takes roughly six months to one year from the date of filing. However trademark protection begins on the
day the application is filed.
