For all trade mark applications lodged with IPOS from 15 April 2019 onwards, we would no longer require applicants to provide the translation and/or transliteration of the foreign words and/or characters appearing in their marks. This process will be automated and applicants need only to enter all the words and/or characters appearing in the mark in text format on the Form TM4.

For more information, please refer to (Circular No. 4/2019, dated 7 March 2019).
