Regarding Exclusive Registration of a Trademark in Israel
People frequently ask if submitting an application for a trademark prior to another competing party with the same trademark guarantees them the rights to that trademark. Until a trademark is officially registered, there are no guarantees over exclusive registration of that mark. The Israel Patent Office will decide which of the two competing parties may use the trademark based on the evidence provided in the application. While the date of submission is considered, it is not a deciding factor in the decision.
