How to apply for a trademark in the Philippines?

Trademark applications and approvals are made with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, also known as IPOPHL.

What is included in the trademark fees?

Trademark fees are all inclusive for your application. We will pay for all expenses. There are no hidden fees.

Can you promise me that my trademark application will be approved?

No, we cannot make that promise. We can assist you with your search and tell you if an application is likely to be approved, or likely to be declined. But we cannot guarantee anything, as the decision is in the hands of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL).

What’s not included?

*Your “Starbung Coffee” logo would definitely not be approved!*

Obviously if you try to file a trademark for Starbung Coffee, you can guess it will be likely that Starbucks Coffee will be willing to fight long and hard to oppose your registration. Therefore, the fees we list on this page only include unopposed applications. All of our packages exclude costs of responding to an opposition, as these costs would vary depending on the strength of your case, and many other factors.

Note: The ₱6,990 fee only includes registration, and does not include Declaration of Actual Use or Publication for Opposition. If you wish to include those, please consider buying our discount package. None of our options include Opposition (if that occurs in your case) because it only affects a minority of applications. We will respond to one minor Registrability Report free of charge.
