    • The mark serves a functional purpose
    • Copyright infringement
    • Conflicts with well-known or famous marks
    • Conflicts with protected symbols, flags, or emblems
    • Registered by an agent or representative instead of the owner

    • Conflicts with personal name rights
    • The mark is generic
    • The mark includes a geographical indication
    • The mark violates public policy or moral standards

    Is it necessary to use my trademark before applying for registration?

    You don't need to use your trademark or plan to use it before applying for registration.

    Does registering a trademark in Israel provide me with any legal rights?

    You don't need to register a trademark to own it. Simply using it first can give you the rights to the trademark in this area.

    What is the duration of the opposition period?

    The opposition period starts on the day it is published in the Official Gazette and lasts for three months from that date.

    How long is a trademark valid once it has been registered?

    The trademark registration is valid for an initial period of 10 years.

    How many trademark applications should I submit?

    The number of applications you should file depends on your mark's features, your budget, and the level of protection you want in Israel.

    If your trademark includes unique text and design elements (like graphics or logos) and you want both protected, we suggest filing two trademark applications: one for the text (a "Word Mark") and another for the design (a "Combined Mark").

    Filing two applications offers these benefits:

  • Stronger and wider protection. If someone else files a "Combined Mark" with similar text but a different design, their mark might be registered if you only filed a "Combined Mark" and not a "Word Mark," as their overall mark would still be different from yours.
  • Protection if your logo changes. Companies often update their logos. If you only file a "Combined Mark" and not a "Word Mark," your updated logo won't be protected. You must use your trademark as registered, or it could be canceled.
  • Effective protection for text and design. A "Word Mark" application lets you use your mark in various ways, like stylized text or different designs, as long as they aren't too similar to others' registered trademarks. A "Combined Mark" protects your design elements.
  • If your trademark includes a slogan or a unique design symbol, consider filing separate applications for each to enhance protection.

    What rights do you gain by registering a trademark?

    Registering a trademark grants the following rights:

    • Exclusive use of the trademark
    • Ability to oppose later conflicting trademarks
    • Right to cancel a later conflicting registration
    • Right to sue for infringement if others use a confusingly similar trademark
    • Ability to license the trademark to others
    • Right to request customs to seize counterfeit goods
    • Right to claim damages for trademark infringement
