Trademark registration advantages

Benefits of trademark registration

Other selected benefits of trademark registration and registered trademarks include: -

• A registered trademark can be assigned, conveyed, or licensed.

• Royalties can attach to licence arrangements regarding its use.

• No stamp duty applies on transfers of registered trademarks in Ireland (Rep.).

• The lower rate of Capital Gains Tax (i.e. 20%) applies in Ireland (Rep.) to capital gains earned on registered trademarks [check with your tax advisers].

• A registered trademark can be held in your own name or in your company’s name.

• A registered trademark is more powerful than a registered business name because monopoly rights attach to the registered trademark (not to the business name) for the classes of goods/services registered.

• A registered trademark is evidence of title.

• There are rights and remedies dealing with infringement of registered trademarks under the Trade Marks Act, 1996.

• The national rights embodied in a registered trademark extend over the whole country, which is much larger than the few thousand square feet contained in a single premises.

• An Irish application can be used as the basis for international filings for certain other countries if an international filing is made within 6 months of the Irish application.

Trademark registration can last forever

One of the advantages of trademark registration is that it can last a very long time.

• Trademark registration lasts initially for 10 years, and can be renewed, subject to payment of renewal fees, indefinitely.
