TM Specifications and Duplicated Terms


IPONZ will no longer raise objections where the specification of goods and/or services contains duplication. The onus will be on the applicant to file correctly and ensure that specifications of goods and/or services do not include any duplicated terms.

An objection will only be made by the Office where the duplicated term(s) causes the specification or goods and/or services to be unclear.
