These procedures include a set of technical and formal processes related to examining the application to ensure it meets all the legal requirements.

The procedures of patent applications also include procedures linked to patent applications that are carried out to meet the needs of third parties from the public, such as publication in the Official Gazette or processes for viewing the register.

Noting that definition of "trademark" is any visible sign used or intended to be used by any person to distinguish their goods, products or services from those of others, according to the Industrial Property Protection Directorate.
