Any individual or corporate body with a Trade Mark may register. Any Mark
that is already in use or a Mark where there is genuine intention to use,
may be registrable.
Each Mark remains registered for 10 yearly periods, subject to the renewal fees being paid. Each registered mark has an infinite life span as long as it remains validly registered. This makes Trade Marks unique in the field of Intellectual Property, where Design and Patent rights expire. Therefore there has been an increase in the number of distinctive designs being protected as trade marks.
