Step 2

Examination

Once the application is filed, it is examined. First, it is examined for any missing information and then it is examined to see if it follows the guidelines. The entire examination process usually takes 6-18 months.

Step 3

Publication

Once the Israel trademark registration application clears the examination, it proceeds towards publication. The application is published for three months in the trademarks gazette.

Step 4

Opposition

After the Israel trademark registration application gets published, third parties are allowed to oppose the application. The opposition is allowed during these three months; this period is not extended.

If there is an opposition filed, the applicant is notified and given two months to respond and provide supporting evidence. Then the opponent is given two months to support his argument and give proofs. Once both the parties have given their claims with evidence in the form of affidavits, there is a formal hearing before the ITO, and then the parties proceed to give written summations. A decision is taken after that, and that decision is final unless the applicant or opponent files an appeal with the respective district court.
