Protect your brand before someone else files first

Thailand trademark search, application preparation and local filing support for Thai and overseas brand owners.

Thailand follows a first-filed application approach when conflicting marks compete. A well-prepared filing can secure an earlier position, define the goods or services you want protected and reduce avoidable objections.

A clearance search reduces risk but does not guarantee acceptance or registration. Final scope and costs depend on the number of classes, goods or services, applicant location and any official actions or opposition.

Why Registration Matters

Your company registration does not automatically protect your brand

A company name, domain name or social-media handle is not the same as a registered trademark.

Short answer: Registering a trademark in Thailand can give its owner the statutory exclusive right to use that mark for the registered goods or services. Foreign registration alone does not automatically create a Thai registration, although an eligible earlier foreign filing may support a six-month priority claim.

A later filing may be blocked

An earlier identical or confusingly similar filing can prevent or delay your application, even if you have already invested in packaging, signage and advertising.

Expansion increases exposure

Launching through distributors, marketplaces, franchisees or local partners makes it more important to establish who owns the brand rights in Thailand.

Rebranding costs more than filing

A rejected filing or third-party dispute can trigger new packaging, marketing assets, listings, contracts and customer education. Search before scaling.

Thailand Trademark Process

From brand search to registration

One local team coordinates each stage and keeps the application moving.

1

Scope the protection

Confirm the applicant, mark format, business activities, target products and services.

2

Clearance search

Review earlier marks and identify obvious similarity, classification and registrability risks.

3

Prepare & file

Finalise the Thai-language application, goods/services wording and supporting documents.

4

DIP examination

The Registrar examines distinctiveness, prohibited elements and earlier conflicting marks.

5

Publish & register

Accepted applications are published for 60 days before registration can proceed.

If the Registrar issues an amendment request, refusal or other office action—or if a third party opposes the application—additional work, cost and time may be required. We will explain the available response before proceeding.
Registrability

A registrable mark needs more than a good design

The Registrar assesses the legal character of the mark and the goods or services claimed. Under the amended Trademark Act, a mark must satisfy three core conditions.

Distinctive: capable of distinguishing your goods or services from those of others.
Not prohibited: does not contain legally restricted or impermissible matter.
Not conflicting: not identical or confusingly similar to a relevant earlier registered mark.
Precisely scoped: the goods or services requiring protection are clearly specified.

Words & names

Brand names, invented words, stylised wording and certain names presented distinctively.

Logos & devices

Drawings, logos, invented devices, figurative elements and qualifying combinations of colours.

Shapes

Certain distinctive three-dimensional forms that satisfy the statutory requirements.

Sounds

Certain distinctive sound marks that meet the representation and registrability rules.

Application Preparation

What we typically need from you

We confirm the final checklist after reviewing the applicant and intended filing.

Mark representation

A clear image of the word mark, logo, device, colour arrangement, shape or other mark being filed. Send the exact version you intend to protect.

Applicant identification

Passport or national ID for an individual, or a recent juristic-person certificate and authorised-signatory information for a company.

Goods and services

A practical description of the products or services sold—or planned—so the appropriate classes and wording can be assessed.

Power of attorney

A signed power of attorney and representative documents where required. Overseas execution may require additional authentication or translation.

Thailand correspondence address

The applicant or agent must maintain an office or address in Thailand for communications from the Registrar.

Priority documents, if claimed

If relying on an earlier eligible foreign application, provide its filing details promptly. The Thailand filing normally must be made within six months.

Indicative Timeline

Plan for examination—not an instant certificate

Trademark registration is a legal examination process. Timing varies from case to case.

1

Search and preparation

Timing depends on the number of marks and classes, document readiness, translations and how clearly the goods or services can be defined.

2

DIP examination

The Department of Intellectual Property controls the queue and may issue questions, amendments, disclaimers or a refusal requiring a response.

3

Publication: 60 days

An accepted application is published. An eligible third party may oppose within 60 days from publication.

4

Registration and certificate

If no opposition prevents registration and the registration fee is paid on time, the Registrar can complete registration and issue the certificate.

Planning Range

Often approximately 12–16 months

The existing UnionSPACE page gives an indicative registration timeline of about 16 months. Use this only as a planning estimate.

  • Simple applications may move differently
  • Office actions can extend the timeline
  • Oppositions or appeals take longer
  • Approval and timing cannot be guaranteed

Frequently Asked Questions

Trademark registration in Thailand: key answers

Practical guidance for Thai and overseas applicants.

A straightforward application is commonly planned at approximately 12 to 16 months. Actual timing depends on the DIP's workload, classification and examination issues, amendments, objections or opposition. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed completion date.

The published prices are THB 12,000 for a one-time trademark clearance search and THB 22,000 per class for trademark registration support. Before proceeding, confirm the exact scope and whether VAT, government fees, translations, notarisation and other costs are included.

Yes. A foreign individual or company can apply. The applicant or appointed agent must have an office or address in Thailand for Registrar communications. Overseas documents may require a power of attorney, Thai translation or authentication depending on how and where they are executed.

The current amended Trademark Act allows an opposition to be filed within 60 days from publication. The 90-day period stated on the old UnionSPACE page reflected outdated wording and has been corrected here.

Registration has a 10-year term and may be renewed for further 10-year periods. A renewal application is normally filed within the three months before expiry. The amended Act also allows late renewal within six months after expiry with a 20% surcharge.

Usually, yes. A clearance search can reveal obvious identical or similar earlier marks before you incur the cost of filing or invest further in the brand. It reduces uncertainty but does not guarantee acceptance, registration or freedom from opposition.

Thailand permits an application to cover specified goods or services in one or more classes. The commercial scope and wording should be planned carefully because UnionSPACE's published registration price is quoted per class, while official fees can depend on the number of listed goods or services.

Possibly. An eligible applicant may claim an earlier foreign filing date if the Thailand application is filed within six months and the applicable legal conditions and supporting-document requirements are met. Tell us immediately if an earlier application exists.
