Uhlamvu olukhethekile: isibonelo: i-TM elandelayo, ukubhala ngesitayela kuyingxenye ebalulekile yalokho okuvikelwe.
Isigaba sesi-2 soMthetho Wophawu Lokuhweba siklelise izimpawu zokuthengisa azikwazi ukubhaliswa njengezimpawu zokuhweba e-United States.Okufana njengokuthi amamaki ahlanganisa noma ahlanganisa ukuziphatha okubi, okukhohlisayo, noma okuhlanganisa noma okuhlanganisa ifulegi noma ijazi lezikhali noma olunye uphawu lwe-United States noma amanye amazwe noma umasipala, njll.

Yebo, kungaba njalo.Uma ummeli wokuhlolwa kwe-USPTO ethola ukuthi isicelo sinezinkinga, uzokhipha isenzo sehhovisi kumfakisicelo.Umfakisicelo kufanele aphendule esikhathini esithile.
izinsuku ezingu-30.Phakathi nesikhathi esishicilelwe, umuntu wesithathu angase afake isicelo sokuphikisa isicelo.
