The worst case for “WING HO” – what it would look like
Anyone getting too close to your sign rarely uses the exact same word. These forms of approximation are typical – this is what a real case involving “WING HO” would look like.
If such a sign were filed, you would have three months from its publication to file an opposition – after that, only the courts remain.
For context: in a sample of 600 Swiss word marks, 49 phonetically confusable name pairs were found.
These signs are machine-generated examples and do not exist in the register. Filings of exactly this kind are what the watch service detects on the day they are published. Entries marked in red, however, do exist.
How long does examination take?
Measured across 301 registrations in our data set: from filing to registration takes 50 days on average. The middle half of all proceedings falls between 13 and 68 days.
Your mark took 110 days to registration – longer than three quarters of comparable proceedings (68 days).
The basis is exclusively filings from 1 Jan 2026 onwards; our observation window covers 228 days. Proceedings that take longer cannot appear in it yet – the real duration is therefore likely above these figures.

The environment of this trademark
Klasse 25 deckt Bekleidung, Schuhe und Kopfbedeckungen ab. Neben Klasse 9 und 35 eine der aktivsten Klassen überhaupt: Jedes Modelabel und jede Streetwear-Marke braucht sie – Verwechslungsgefahr ist hier Alltag.
The name "WING HO" in numbers
Compared with 1'630 word marks in the stock listed here – the rarer the profile, the fewer direct name neighbours.
What “WING HO” does NOT protect
Trademark protection applies exclusively to the Nice classes claimed – for “WING HO” these are classes 25. Everything outside remains open. Marks with a comparable profile typically also protect these areas, which are not covered here:
- Class 35 – Werbung, Handel & Beratung: Klasse 35 umfasst Werbung, Marketing, Unternehmensberatung, Detailhandel und E-Commerce-Dienstleistungen. Die meistgenutzte Dienstleistungsklasse: Agenturen, Berater und Online-Shops melden hier praktisch immer an – entsprechend eng ist der Namensraum.
- Class 40 – Materialbearbeitung: Klasse 40 deckt die Bearbeitung und Umwandlung von Materialien ab: Druck, Recycling, 3D-Druck, Veredelung, Energieerzeugung. Produktions- und Umwelttechnikbetriebe sind typische Anmelder.
- Class 18 – Leder & Taschen: Klasse 18 deckt Leder, Taschen, Koffer, Rucksäcke und Reiseaccessoires ab. Mode- und Accessoire-Labels melden hier häufig parallel zu Klasse 25 (Bekleidung) an.
A class can only be added with a new application, not retroactively – with an initial filing, each additional class costs roughly CHF 100 extra.

The gap in the system: The IPI does not check whether new applications resemble existing trademarks – in November 2016 alone, 6 new word marks were added, none of them compared with "WING HO". Whoever files a confusingly similar trademark normally gets it registered – unless the owner of the earlier trademark defends themselves.
The mildest remedy is an opposition before the IPI (official fee CHF 800, three months from publication of the registration). Miss the deadline and only the far more expensive route through the civil courts remains. Early detection therefore directly determines effort and cost.

Movement in the register: In this trademark's classes, 5 trademarks were cancelled or expired in the last 3 months (9,6 % of the listed stock) – mostly missed renewals or abandoned signs. The renewal reminder below protects you from that.
Your time window – and what comes after
If someone files a confusable sign, a three-month deadline starts running from its publication. Use it and you can stop the mark at the IPI. Miss it and only civil litigation remains.
In time or too late – the difference
Guide values: the IPI opposition fee is around CHF 800. Civil proceedings typically start in the five-figure range and take years.

Added since filing
