3. Filing an application for merger

Up one level

An application for the merger of a trade mark application or registration must be made in writing1. The Commissioner will accept any manner of written communication that contains all the requirements for filing the application under the Regulations.

IPONZ has provided an example of a merger application form to assist with filing an application for a merger.

There is no fee for filing an application to merge separate trade mark applications or registrations.
