End-to-End Trademark Registration in Israel

In Israel, rights to a trademark are granted to the person or company that first uses it in the territory. Even though registration is not mandatory, in practice it is highly recommended, because it helps to:

• Clearly demonstrate ownership of the trademark,
• Prevent future conflicts about who owns the mark, and
• More effectively defend against trademark infringement.

Trademark applications in Israel are filed with the Trademark department of the Israel Patent Office IPO.

Israel is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, so it is possible to extend an international registration to Israel via the Madrid System. We offer services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.

A trademark does not have to be in use in Israel in order to be registered. However, prior use may be very helpful, as it can serve to overcome objections based on lack of distinctiveness by proving that the mark has acquired distinctiveness through use.

If you register a combined trademark (including both word and figurative elements), your exclusive right to use the mark is limited to the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is advisable to file a separate trademark for the elements you want to protect individually.

If you would like the figurative or design elements of your trademark to be considered in a Trademark Search Report for Israel, you should contact us directly so we can determine whether we can offer this in this jurisdiction; in such cases, prices and delivery times may vary.

To register a trademark in Israel, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed. No notarization or legalization required.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average time frame to register a trademark in Israel is around 5 months for straightforward cases. This is an estimated processing time based on current application timeframes and may vary considerably.

Once a trademark is registered in Israel:

• It has a validity of 10 years from the application date.
• It can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.

Renewal can be requested:

• Within three (3) months before the expiration date, and
• Until the last day of the month in which the mark expires.

After that, there is a grace period of six (6) months during which the trademark can still be renewed, subject to payment of a late renewal fee.

Although use is not required for registration, if the mark goes unused for three (3) years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.

Yes. Opposition actions may be filed by third parties:

• An opposition can be filed within three (3) months after the application is published in the official gazette.

If a third party attempts to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part of your mark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity. The probabilities of success will depend on the specific circumstances of each case.

Use is not required in order to register a trademark in Israel.

However, after registration:

• If the trademark is not used for a period of three (3) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.
