How to File a Trademark in

Philippines

Brealant offers expert guidance, guiding you through a seamless and efficient filing process every step of the way.

  1. Step 1
    Create an online account with IPOPHL (Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines).

    Choose specs

    pick‑list (where available) or custom wording.

  5. Step 5
    File online, pay official fees.
  6. Step 6
    Track

    review examination reports, respond if needed.

Filing before IPOPHL requires careful classification and timely DAU (Declaration of Actual Use) filings. Many applications lapse due to missed deadlines. Brealant manages filings, renewals, DAU, and monitoring to keep your mark secure.
