We handle a full range of proceedings before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) as well as before the Polish Patent Office (PPO). To assist your company, we offer:
- filling and representation of trademark applications before the EUIPO and the PPO
- handling of opposition proceedings
- handling of trademark invalidation proceedings
- negotiations throughout the proceedings
EUROPEAN UNION TRADEMARKS
Proceedings before the EUIPO allow quick registration of trademarks at the territory of the whole European Union. EU Trademarks (EUTM), registered by the EUIPO, offer protection of trademarks at the territory of all member states within the European Union.
The following details are necessary for registering a EUTM:
- Trademark owner details
- Representation of the trademark
- List of goods and/or services for which the trademark is to be registered
- Priority details (if any)
After a formalities check, the trademark is published. The publication triggers a three-month time limit for filing opposition by parties who have the same or similar trademarks registered or filed for the same or similar goods/services as a EUTM or a national trademark in any of the European Union member states. If no opposition is filed, the trademark is registered approximately nine months after filing.
NATIONAL POLISH TRADEMARKS
National proceedings before the Polish Patent Office are similar to the EUIPO, however, they are considered to be more formalized. If the PPO finds no obstacles to registration, your application will be published in the Patent Office Bulletin and three month opposition period starts. If no opposition is filed, the PPO issues a decision granting the protection. After receiving the decision, the grant fee must be paid, otherwise, you could fail to obtain the trademark protection. In the case of a “smooth” application, the protection of a trademark can be obtained within 9-12 months.
The following details and documents are necessary for registering a Polish Trademark:
- Trademark owner details
- Representation of the trademark
- List of goods and/or services for which the trademark is to be registered
- Priority details (if any)
- Duly signed Power of Attorney
