From August 2025, the Thai Trade mark Office (TMO) has updated its process for issuing certificates for international trade mark registrations (“IR”) designating Thailand. This change affects how trade mark owners receive proof of registration.
Key Points:
Example: Thai TMO’s electronic certificate and verification page
Implications:
This update simplifies international trade mark management and ensures faster, paperless processing through WIPO. This electronic certificate carries the same legal effect as the original hardcopy, including for enforcement purposes.
For assistance with renewals, recordals, or assignments, our Trade Mark and Brands Team at Rouse is available to provide guidance and support.
