  • Timestamped evidence vault of the secrecy measures

Frequently asked questions

Who prepares and lodges my application?

Ascen Mark prepares the application from the data you provide in the portal, and a licensed agent in the destination country lodges it where local representation is required.

How do I know which classes to select?

The portal includes a Nice Classification advisor that suggests classes from your goods and services description. Class selection remains your decision and is not legal advice.

What happens if the office raises an objection?

The objection is surfaced on your dashboard with the deadline docketed, and a fixed quote for the reply is issued before any work starts.

Can I track deadlines and renewals in the portal?

Yes. Priority windows, publication periods, response deadlines and renewal dates are docketed and shown on your dashboard with notifications.
