Trade Mark Search
Trade mark conflicts can be costly! Before you invest time and money in applying for a trade-mark with the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ), make sure your trade mark can be registered.
trademarkzone can advise you on your trade mark before you file your application and provide information on issues commonly encountered. A trade mark search can save you time and money by avoiding common pitfalls.
With our trade mark search, you will receive a detailed report within 2 business days of possible issues along with an explanation of your options.
