6. Division process
Up one level
Where an application for division is accepted, the trade mark application will be divided. A new application record and number will be created for the divided portion. A fee for the new application record is not required.
The following information will appear in the new application and the initial trade mark application on the IPONZ database:
- In the “action” field, the date the division occurred; and
- In the “related trade marks” field, the application numbers of the new application and the initial trade mark application.
Where a mark, class or any goods or services are divided out of a trade mark application, that mark, class or those goods or services will be deleted from the initial trade mark application.
