Tips:

• Logos are difficult to search for. So, Tata ma chance with the logo.
• Don't use "descriptive" marks, e.g. SAFETY SHOES 2000.
• Consider translations in Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans.
• Consider singular / plural, i.e. add an "s" at the end.
• Do not use a "well‐known" brand, even if it is not used or registered in South Africa.
• Search your domain name as registered, as well as separated into its words (i.e. for www.flymango.com, search FLYMANGO and FLY MANGO).

Note: The search only finds exact matches in the South African trademarks register (whether alive or lapsed) and cannot guarantee that a conflicting trademark does not exist. Also, trademarks filed within the previous month or so may not be included in the records searched. It is even possible that an unregistered mark that's been in use for the past 20 years may have acquired sufficient reputation to bar registration of your trademark. If these issues arise, they are generally dealt with after filing the trademark application.
