At present, the Israeli government adopts the Nice Classification 11th edition of product and service descriptions and accepts applications for multiple categories in one form.

The elements that can be registered as trademarks in Israel include: text, name, graphics, numbers, slogan, color combination, three-dimensional logo, sound, smell, etc.

If the applicant does not reside in Israel, they must entrust a specialized agent in their home country to handle the matter. The basic materials required for trademark application are:
1. Trademark design;
2. Specific product items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4. Power of attorney;
5.If priority is declared, priority proof documents and their translations must be provided.

The main process for applying for registration of an Israeli trademark is: application, acceptance, examination, announcement, approval, and issuance of a certificate.

After the application is submitted, the official first conducts a formal review, mainly examining whether the application requirements and classification information comply with regulations. Generally, it takes about one month to complete the acceptance. After acceptance, substantive examination of the trademark will be conducted, which generally takes about 3-5 months (accelerated examination can be applied for), including examination of the distinctiveness of the trademark, whether it violates the prohibition and prohibition clauses, and whether it forms a substantial relationship with the prior trademark. If the examination is passed, it will be announced; If the review fails, a rejection notice will be issued and the applicant will be required to respond within the time limit specified in the rejection notice.

The objection period is within 3 months from the date of announcement. Any interested party or prior right holder may raise objections, and the main reasons for raising objections are:
1. Conflict with prior trademarks, such as owning a prior registered trademark;
2. The trademark lacks distinctiveness;
3. The trademark has adverse effects;
4. Malicious registration;
5. Conflict with other prior rights, such as trade name rights, design rights, copyrights, personal names, etc.

If there are no objections or objections are not valid during the announcement period, registration can be approved and a registration certificate can be issued after the objection period ends. In a smooth situation, trademark registration in Israel takes about one year; If there is any rejection or objection encountered during the process, the time will be extended.

Due to the principle of "prior use" adopted by the country, when raising objections, the prior use can be used to counter the later application.
