In-Depth Guide: Trademark Assignment & Recordation (Assign)

Trademark Assignment & Recordation is delivered under ILC's Thai Intellectual Property, Trademark and Patent Practice practice, combining MoJ-certified translation, MFA legalization, embassy liaison, and Thai government filing under one project manager. Every case is handled by a NAATI-accredited translator, a Thai Notarial Services Attorney, and a dedicated case coordinator.

Thailand is a Madrid Protocol contracting party (since 2017) and a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) member, making it a strategic Asian filing hub for brand and technology owners. ILC prosecutes trademarks, service marks, collective marks, certification marks, and geographical indications under the Trademark Act B.E. 2534 (as amended 2016), and patents / petty patents / designs under the Patent Act B.E. 2522. Enforcement is delivered through the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court (CIPITC), Customs recordal against counterfeit imports, e-Commerce takedown filings, and Suppression Division criminal complaints. Trademark examination timelines shortened to ~18 months in 2024, and DIP now offers e-filing with instant certificates upon grant.

Why choose ILC for Trademark Assignment & Recordation

With more than 15 years of practice, ILC covers every embassy in Bangkok and both MFA offices (Chaengwattana and Chiang Mai). We operate a two-tier QA review and refund the service fee if a document is rejected due to a defect in our translation or certification — government fees and officer discretion excluded.

How Trademark Assignment & Recordation is Processed

The workflow below reflects current 2025–2026 practice with the relevant Thai authority and factors in queue seasonality, translation dependencies, and cross-agency handoffs.

1) Clearance search
Availability search on DIP database, Madrid WIPO, and common-law usage to size opposition risk.
2) Classification and filing
Nice classification (currently 11th edition, 45 classes) with claim drafting for optimal scope.
3) DIP examination
Formalities check → substantive examination; office actions handled with argument or amendment.
4) Publication and opposition
60-day opposition period; if unopposed, mark proceeds to registration.
5) Registration and certificate
Digital certificate issued; 10-year term renewable indefinitely.
6) Enforcement and portfolio management
Customs recordal, marketplace takedowns and annual watch reports.

A working guide to Ip Trademark in Thailand

Ip Trademark is one of the pillar services delivered by our firm — a Bangkok legal-language practice operating since 2004 with in-house certified translators, Lawyers Council of Thailand notarial services attorneys, Ministry of Justice court-listed translators, and licensed visa consultants working under one roof. Every Ip Trademark matter is scoped by a senior specialist on LINE Official @NAATI or by email at ilc@thainotary.co.th before any file moves.

How the workflow runs end-to-end

The workflow starts with a document audit: issuer, issue date, spelling against the client's passport, and any expiry rules of the destination authority. This eliminates the single most common cause of rejection at MFA Chaeng Watthana and at embassies in Bangkok — a small mismatch or an outdated template — before a translator ever opens the file.

Who this service is for

The service routinely supports six client profiles: individual foreign nationals arriving for work, study, retirement, marriage, or LTR/Smart investor visas; Thai citizens travelling abroad and needing documents recognised in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Schengen area, Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, or India; HR departments of multinationals handling Non-B and BOI work permits; law firms handling M&A, IP portfolios, or cross-border litigation; educational institutions preparing credential packs for foreign universities; and embassies or international organisations on framework contracts.

Coverage, fees, and turnaround

We serve all 77 provinces of Thailand via nationwide courier: next-day pickup from Bangkok metro and 1–3 day pickup from Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Rayong, Chonburi, Phuket, Krabi, Songkhla, and Hat Yai. Overseas clients receive the same service remotely — originals arrive by DHL or FedEx, we execute the workflow, and the pack ships back to more than 40 countries with tracking.

Quality assurance and confidentiality

Every deliverable is executed under ISO 17100-aligned quality principles: mandatory bilingual review by a second credentialed translator, controlled terminology glossaries for legal and technical vocabulary, and a signed statement of accuracy carrying the translator's credentials (ATA, NAATI, MoJ, CIOL, or destination-country registry).
