Registering a trade mark is an important first step. Protecting it is an ongoing responsibility.

Trade mark watching services is the process of monitoring new trade mark applications to identify any that are confusingly similar to your own. Without it, a competitor could file a mark that encroaches on your brand, and if you do not oppose it in time, that window closes.

In South Africa, once a trade mark is accepted and published in the Patent Journal, any interested parties have 3 months from date of publication to oppose registration. Missing that window can have long-term consequences for your brand.

If your trade mark is registered, speak to our IP team about what comes next.

When you buy a sectional title unit, you are not buying the land beneath it, and that distinction has real consequences.

What you own is the section as defined by the sectional plan, plus an undivided share in the common property. That determines everything from your levy obligations and maintenance responsibilities to what structural changes you are and are not permitted to make.

Sectional title ownership comes with a layer of governance that freehold ownership does not. Understanding those rules before you sign, not after you have moved in and discovered them is what separates an informed buyer from a frustrated one.

MacRobert's Property Law team assists buyers, sellers, and corporate bodies across all aspects of sectional title law.

On Youth Day, we remember the courage it took for a generation to stand up and demand better.

That spirit of persistence, of principle, of refusing to accept less than what is right, is one that continues to shape South Africa. Today, we honour the Class of 1976, and every young South African still working to build the country they deserve.

Charitable giving is most powerful when it is informed, accountable, and directed where it is genuinely needed.

iZinga Assist is a digital verification, compliance, and ratings agency that is setting a new standard in exactly that - bridging the gap between sub-Saharan non-profit organisations and international donors through a platform that empowers non-profits to demonstrate their credibility, and empowers donors to give with confidence.

In a sector where trust is everything, iZinga Assist is building the infrastructure that makes trust possible.

MacRobert Attorneys is proud to support iZinga Assist and the work they do to bring accountability, integrity, and meaningful impact to charitable giving across Africa.

Did you know? A Will that is not signed and witnessed correctly has no legal validity, and an invalid Will is treated as though it never existed.

In South Africa, your Will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses, whom must also sign the document. Those witnesses cannot be beneficiaries, and if they are, their inheritance is disqualified.

It is a simple requirement, but the number of Wills that fail on technicalities and the complications that follow for families is significant.

Getting it right costs far less than getting it wrong.
MacRobert's Deceased Estates and Wills team is here to help.

Did you know? In personal injury matters, time is not just money, it is your entire claim.

Most personal injury claims in South Africa prescribe three years from the date the injured person became aware of both the harm suffered and the identity of the responsible party. Once that period expires, your right to claim is gone, regardless of how valid your case may have been.

For Road Accident Fund claims, the deadlines can be even shorter, and the process more complex.

The most common reason valid claims are lost is not lack of merit, it is delay. If you have been injured and are unsure whether you have a claim, the only thing guaranteed to make the situation worse is waiting.

MacRobert's Personal Injury team is here to help you understand your rights before time runs out.

Can you trade mark a colour? Yes - but it is harder than it sounds.

In South Africa, a colour can be registered as a trade mark only if the public has come to associate it exclusively with your brand over time. Cadbury's purple and Tiffany's robin-egg blue are classic examples, both protected in their respective jurisdictions because those colours belong, in the minds of consumers, to one brand and no one else.

You cannot simply register a colour you like. You have to prove it has become synonymous with your business.

Colours, sounds, and shapes fall under what is known as non-traditional trade marks, a growing and often contested area of IP law. If you think your brand has something worth protecting beyond its name or logo, speak to our IP team.
