Application process

General points before filling in the application form:

Firstly, once you have submitted your form, you cannot make any significant changes to it. Only minor clerical errors will be accepted. Furthermore, please note that any application fees paid for Form T2 are generally not refundable even if the application cannot proceed to registration. There are only very limited circumstances under which refund may be made. Therefore, please read the information in “Apply for a trade mark” carefully.

Secondly, have you read the “Before you apply” section? Have you conducted a trade mark search to see if someone else has already registered or applied to register your trade mark?

Thirdly, whilst we have tried to put all the necessary information in “Apply for a trade mark”, you may still have some questions regarding your trade mark application. If so please visit our web site at https://www.ipd.gov.hk or email to enquiry@ipd.gov.hk.
