Cambodia Trademark Database
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to conduct a trademark search in Cambodia using DIP’s website and the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) Monitor platform:
(i) Go to the DIP’s website or the WIPO Monitor website: Open your web browser and navigate to the above websites.
In the DIP website, just enter the name of your mark in the search field to conduct the search. This search tool is not so friendly to users. As such, it is more advisalble to search trademarks in the rest websites.
(ii) Select the search criteria: Type your trademark to the search field “trademark”, the class of goods/services in the search field “Nice”.
(iii) Select the jurisdiction: At the search field “Designated contracting party”, please choose “KH” which is the abbreviation of “Cambodia”.
(iv) Perform the search: Click the “Search” button to initiate the search. The results will show you trademarks that are similar to your proposed trademark.
(v) Review the search results: Review the search results to identify any existing trademarks that are similar to your proposed trademark. Pay attention to trademarks that have the same or similar name, logo, or design, or that cover the same or similar goods or services.
(vi) Analyze the results: Analyze the search results to determine the likelihood of your proposed trademark being accepted for registration. Consider the similarity of your proposed trademark to existing trademarks and the strength of these existing trademarks.
