Collective marks are registrable.
A single application may be filed in respect of multiple classes of the International Classification of Goods and Services and may claim priority under the Paris Convention. Applications will be examined for inherent registrability and for prior conflicting marks. After trademark applications are registered, the registrations are published in the Official Gazette. The owner of a conflicting right may take action at any time against an offending registration before the Board of Appeal of the Patent Office. The decision of the Board of Appeal may be appealed to the Supreme Court.
