The first phase of the application process is the examination of requirements. The applicant must be able to comply with the trademark standards with respect to formality, clarity, classification, distinctiveness, descriptiveness, deceptiveness and possible conflicts in registration. Next phase is the publication of application details which will be done online. Information such as name of applicant, application number, goods/services, etc. will be published. This is also the time when third-parties are given a chance to oppose. If no oppositions are present, the final phase will be the registration of trademark.
