If there is no opposition, the mark will be registered and the Certificate of Registration will be mailed to you by registered mail. It usually takes about 12 to 18 months for a mark to become mature for registration.

The cost will be higher if, in carrying out the work, more time is required than is here anticipated, or if any additional matters or points arise.
