Trademark registration

Do you have a brand and want to protect it from third parties?

IPfabrika provides comprehensive services for registration, monitoring, protection and management of trademarks, providing legal support in case of infringements and assistance in the transfer of trademark rights.

The process of researching whether a proposed trademark is already registered or used by another entity. This involves checking national and international trademark databases.

The process of extending legal protection after the initial registration period (10 years) has expired. This is done by submitting an application for renewal and paying the appropriate fees.

Provides the ability to transfer trademark rights.

The process of filing an application with the relevant patent office for trademark protection. It grants the holder the exclusive right to use the mark, to dispose of it and to prohibit third parties from using it without his consent. Trademark registration is for a period of ten years and can be renewed indefinitely for subsequent periods of ten years against payment of a fee.

It includes legal measures and actions to preserve the rights of the owner and prevent unauthorized use by third parties. This may include filing complaints, claims, and lawsuits to ensure compliance with trademark rights.

It can be carried out independently of the transfer of the commercial enterprise. This can be done through sale or donation and must be recorded in the relevant department.
