The rights to a trademark in Israel are granted to the person or company that first uses it in this territory. Although registration is not mandatory, in practice it is highly recommended in order to demonstrate clear ownership, prevent future conflicts regarding ownership of the trademark and in order to defend against cases of trademark infringement.
In Israel, trademark applications are filed with the Trademark department of the Israel Patent Office (IPO).
Israel is also a member state to the Madrid Protocol. Thus, the extension of an international registration of a trademark via the Madrid System is possible for this country. We offer services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.
It is not necessary for a trademark to be in use in Israel in order for it to register. However, prior use may be useful as it can help overcome an objection raised on the grounds of lack of distinctiveness, by proving that the trademark has acquired distinctiveness.
If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word elements and figurative elements) in Israel, the exclusive right to use the trademark is limited to a use of the trademark in the exact configuration or way in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element of your trademark separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended you register for another trademark including only the word or figurative elements you wish to use and protect separately.
Nevertheless, if a third party eventually intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part or portion of your trademark, you will have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.
Opposition actions may be filed by third parties against a trademark application within three (3) months after its publication in the official gazette. The probabilities of success for an opposition will vary in each case depending on the circumstances.
Although a trademark does not have to be in use in order for it to register, it must not go unused for periods of three years or it will become vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use of the trademark.
Registered trademarks in Israel have a validity of ten (10) years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years. The renewal can be requested within three (3) months before the expiration date and until the last day of the month during which it expires. After this, there is a grace period of six (6) months during which the trademark can still be renewed, upon payment of a late renewal fee.
