Israeli Local Counsel for Foreign Trademark Attorneys

Foreign trademark attorneys and IP law firms may instruct our Israeli trademark team directly for new Israeli applications, Madrid designations and existing files that require local prosecution. We act as Israeli local counsel, communicate in English and report directly to the instructing foreign firm.

For new filing instructions, foreign counsel may send the applicant details, representation of the mark, relevant priority information, proposed goods and services, classes and filing deadline. For an existing application, the Israeli application number, examination report or other official document, deadline and prosecution instructions are usually sufficient for us to review the next step.

Where we take over an existing file, we can review the current register status, pending deadlines and outstanding examination issues before confirming the recommended next action.

Foreign associates may request our current Israeli trademark associate fee schedule or a quotation for a specific matter. For an overview of current official fees and the principal cost components, see Trademark Registration Cost in Israel.

Trademark Office Actions and Examination

We prepare and file responses to examination reports issued by the Israel Patent Authority, including objections concerning distinctiveness, descriptiveness, earlier marks, classification and the wording of goods and services. Where appropriate, we also handle requests for expedited examination and ex parte proceedings before the Registrar of Trademarks.

For a detailed procedural guide, see Trademark Examination and Office Actions in Israel.

Madrid Protocol and International Registrations

We assist with international registrations designating Israel, responses to provisional refusals and Israeli prosecution matters arising under the Madrid System. We also assist Israeli applicants using an Israeli application or registration as the basis for an international filing.

Trademark Searches and Filing Strategy

Before filing, we can review the proposed mark, conduct or review searches for potentially conflicting trademarks and advise on filing strategy, classification and the specification of goods and services. For guidance on the official database and clearance options, see Trademark Search in Israel.
