One of the most effective means to protect your business from unfair competition is  a trademark registration. The state guarantees legal protection of a registered trademark. Besides, the trademark is a brand name, a symbol of a company, a guarantee of quality.

What can be registered as the trademark?

Trademark is an individual sign that allows the customers to distinguish services and goods provided by one company from services and goods provided by another one. Trademark is something like a business card using which the buyers can differentiate products on store shelves, in commercials and adverticements.

Trademark registration is performed for various symbols that are divided as follows:

1. three-dimensional signs, which are often a spatial object, such  as bottles, unusual packages or bottles;
2. graphic (visual) signs which usually consist of ornaments, pictures or geometric shapes;
3. word marks consisting only of words, phrases, letters or combinations of different numbers;
4. combined signs, which have a partial or all components of the aforementioned elements;

Ownership of the  trademark certified with a certificate. The validity of the certificate is 10 years from the filing date to the State Department of Intellectual Property and is extended on the request of the owner of the certificate each time for 10 years.

There is no legal protection for trademarks that represent or imitate:

1. armorial bearings, flags and other state symbols (emblems);
2. official names of states;
3. emblems, abbreviations and full names of international intergovernmental organizations;
4. official control, guarantee and hallmarks, stamps;
5. awards and other decorations.
