What is a Trademark Certificate?

A trademark registration certificate is issued by the Trade Marks Registry after your trademark is accepted and no opposition is filed during the publication period. The certificate is conclusive proof of ownership and grants the right to use the ® symbol — essential for enforcement, licensing and international filings.
