## Common mistakes

**Budgeting for one fee.** Three classes at RM1,100 is RM3,300 before anyone has
looked at your mark. Decide the class list first.

**Drafting your own specification without checking.** Using MyIPO's pre-approved
list saves RM150 per class and removes the most common formality objection.
MyIPO puts the burden of the pre-approved claim on the applicant, so an
unsupported TMA2A claim invites a provisional refusal.

**Forgetting that opposition costs both sides.** Filing an opposition is RM950
per class; defending one is RM350 per class for the counterstatement, plus
RM200 per month for every extension.

**Assuming an assignment is free to record.** RM300 per application, and until it
is recorded, s.65(2) of the Trademarks Act 2019 makes the transaction ineffective
against someone who acquires a conflicting interest without notice of it.

## What's next

Fix the class list, then check every item of your specification against MyIPO's
pre-approved goods and services list. The process and timing sit in the
trademark registration guide.
