At present, Iswatini adopts the Nice Classification 11th edition of product and service descriptions and accepts applications for multiple categories in one form. The elements for registering Iswatini as a trademark include: text, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional identification, etc.

If the applicant does not reside in Iswatini, 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 categories and product/service items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4.If priority is declared, priority proof documents and corresponding translations must be provided;
5. Power of attorney.

The main process for applying for registration of the Iswatini trademark is: application acceptance, examination, announcement, approval, and issuance of certificates. The application will be accepted within 1-2 weeks after submission. The examiner will conduct formal and substantive examinations on the application. Formal review mainly examines whether the application requirements and classification information comply with regulations; The substantive examination includes the examination of the distinctiveness of the trademark, whether it violates the prohibition and prohibition clauses, and whether it conflicts with the prior trademark. If the examination fails, a rejection notice will be issued and the applicant will be required to respond within the time limit specified in the rejection notice. If the substantive examination passes, it will be arranged for public announcement. Three months from the announcement date is the objection period, during which any interested party or prior rights holder may raise objections. 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. If everything goes smoothly, the registration of the Iswatini trademark will take about one year; If things don't go smoothly and there are objections or rejections along the way, the time will be greatly extended.
