What does your trademark status actually mean?
The Registry tells you your status in two words. This tells you what those two words mean, whether a clock is running, and the exact date it runs out.
On your filing receipt and every Registry email. Usually 7 digits.
General information, not professional advice. This tool does not connect to the Trade Marks Registry and does not read your file — the Registry’s public search is protected by a CAPTCHA and has no public API, so the live status must be read by you on the official site. The status descriptions here explain the Registry’s own wording. Periods are those prescribed under the Trade Marks Rules, 2017: reply to an examination report, one month from receipt of the report (rule 33(4), failing which the Registrar may treat the application as abandoned); notice of opposition, four months from publication of the Journal in which the mark was advertised (rule 42(1)); counter-statement, two months from receipt of the copy of the notice of opposition (rule 44(1)); renewal may be filed up to one year before expiry (rule 57(1)), with a surcharge within six months of expiry (rule 59, read with section 25(3)) and restoration within one year of expiry (rule 60).
