Under the South African Patent Law, patent rights are awarded if the invention qualifies in terms of uniqueness – thus novelty, usefulness, and inventiveness. You may think your invention is novel, but you will only be sure once a novelty search has been conducted. Not all of us are information specialists, and as such even if we search through the patent databases, the Internet, trade journals and magazines, we may still miss a similar patent. As such the services offered by patent attorneys regarding novelty searches are extremely useful.

The second part of being useful may sound easy, but under the Patent Law the invention cannot be something that is just cute. If it cannot be used in commerce, agriculture or industry it would be a useless invention and there would also be no point in developing the product. Even if an idea seems great, you will need someone skilled in patent law to investigate its usefulness. Once again, the services of patent lawyers in this regard become useful. The third part of investigation of the invention will involve its inventiveness. For this part the patent law stipulates that the invention must not be obvious to someone skilled in the trade. The patent attorney is not only qualified in law, but also in a scientific or engineering field. This ensures that the attorney can judge the inventiveness.

If you want to register your invention and want to make sure that it meets all the requirements of a patent as stipulated in South African Patent Law, contact us at Smit & Van Wyk today.

The steps for registering a trademark are briefly described below. Upon having read through all the steps you will agree that trademark lawyers will ensure that the process be completed quickly and with hassle.

Consultation with the trademark lawyers

The first step should be learning everything you need to know about trademark registration and what it will involve. For this get in contact with the trademark lawyers of Smit & Van Wyk to guide you through the process.

Doing the search for similar marks

Before spending money on the filing of the application, the trademark search must be conducted to ensure that the mark will be unique, non-offensive and in compliance with all the regulations. This can be done at the trademark office. In addition you will want to confirm that there isn’t a company name registered with CIPRO which may later on cause a challenge regarding the validity of your trademark. The trademark lawyers can assist with the search.

Completing the application form

The application is then completed and the application filed for each of the relevant categories. Once the application has been filed and you have proof of that, you can start using the trademark. The filing must be paid before using the trademark. The correct completion of the application form is essential as incorrect information and completion may lead to the rejection of the application.

Registration takes place

If the application is approved, you will receive the full registration and rights that go with it. Contact the trademark lawyers of Smit & Van Wyk for assistance regarding trademarks.
