Clear, Simple Steps to Secure Your Trademark
In Thailand, a trademark is a legally recognized sign, symbol, word, or combination that distinguishes a company's goods or services from others.
Governed by the Trade Marks Act 1995, a registered trademark grants you exclusive rights to prevent others from using similar identifiers that may cause consumer confusion.
Safeguarding Your Trademark in Thailand — With Brealant by Your Side
Trademark registration in Thailand provides significant advantages for your business in securing your brand identity.
Once registered, you, as the trademark owner, have exclusive rights concerning specific goods or services across the country.
This legal protection prevents competitors from using or imitating the trademark, helping build consumer trust and recognition.
What a Trademark Protects
A registered trademark in Thailand protects various elements that identify and differentiate a brand.
The protection extends to:
Words
Unique brand names, slogans, and taglines.
Logos
Distinctive graphical elements representing the brand.
Colors
Unique color combinations closely associated with the brand.
Slogans or non‑traditional marks
Distinct sounds (like jingles) and scents uniquely related to the brand.
By partnering with IP experts in Thailand, you can ensure your brand is safeguarded from infringement, maintain its integrity, and prevent customer confusion or loss of trust due to imitation.
Limitations
What Cannot Be Trademarked in Thailand
Certain elements cannot be trademarked under Thailand law, including:
Generic terms
Common words or phrases that describe the product (e.g., "bread" for a bakery).
Descriptive words
Words that simply describe characteristics, quality, or location of goods (e.g., "fresh" or "Thailand").
Offensive or scandalous material
Marks that contain offensive language or imagery.
Misleading terms
Words that could mislead consumers about the nature or quality of the goods or services.
Common surnames
A surname in common use unless proven to have become distinctly associated with a specific brand.
The Trade Marks Office evaluates applications to ensure that these non-registrable elements are not part of the proposed trademark.
Timeline for Trademark Registration in Thailand
The registration process for a trademark in Thailand typically involves:
Application submission
Once the application is filed with IP Thailand, it is examined within three (3) to four (4) months.
Examination
If the application has any issues, IP Thailand will issue an "adverse report," giving the applicant a six-month window to address the concerns.
Acceptance and publication
If accepted, the trademark is produced in the Thailand Official Journal of Trade Marks for a two-month opposition period.
Registration
If no opposition arises, the trademark is officially registered, with the certificate issued shortly after the opposition period concludes.
On average, the process can take between seven (7) and nine (9) months, depending on any objections or delays.
Understanding Trademark Costs in Thailand — Simplified with Brealant
The cost of trademark registration in Thailand varies depending on the number of classes (categories of goods or services) the trademark covers:
Official Filing Fees
Administered by DIP, Ministry of Commerce, fees are charged per class. Brealant confirms the applicable fees before submission.
Professional fees
Brealant handles all professional aspects, including searches, filings, oppositions, and renewals, ensuring compliance with Thai regulations.
These costs represent a valuable investment in securing a brand's exclusive rights and protecting it against infringement.
Continued Trademark Protection in Thailand— Supported by Brealant
Once registered, a trademark can be actively monitored and enforced to ensure others are not using similar marks that may confuse customers. Businesses often partner with IP professionals to monitor potential infringements, maintain renewal timelines, and manage licensing agreements.
By securing a trademark, a business protects its brand and strengthens its market position, building a reliable, recognizable presence in the Thailand market.
