Duration of the registration procedure

Considering the time required for the examination, biweekly dynamics of the official gazette publication and a three-month time limit set for filing opposition against the registration of a trademark, the entire procedure normally takes 9 to 12 months.

However, it is important to have in mind that the conditional trademark protection shall be acquired from the filing date of the application, not subject to the duration of the procedure. If all the legal requirements for the registration of a trademark were fulfilled, the full trademark protection is acquired from the filing date of the application with the Office.
