No one can guarantee this, so do not believe any advertisements. To be registered, the trademark must meet the requirements of Article 1483 of the Russian Civil Code of the Russian Federation. It is possible to assess the mark’s protectability before filing by checking whether the name and/or logo complies with all the requirements. If there are weak points in your mark, it can be modified to improve its protectability.

You can use our database of registered trademarks to conduct a preliminary express search before contacting us. However, this does not guarantee that your mark can be registered: searching our database or other open databases will only give you a list of identical trademarks, while similar trademarks can be just as dangerous. This is why we conduct thorough searches, analyzing potential risks and providing recommendations.
Why register a trademark
Your brand is gaining fame
There is a downside to popularity – envious competitors and those who want to profit off your fame. A registered trademark provides legal defense for your brand and serves as an effective weapon against unscrupulous market participants.
You are planning to expand your business
Protect your business today to ensure confident growth in Russia and abroad.
You want to strengthen the image of your brand
Having a registered trademark shows your serious attitude to business, making your brand look strong and reliable in the eyes of customers and promising for your partners and sponsors.
You want to create a franchise
A registered trademark is a prerequisite for franchise registration.
Not registering a trademark is dangerous
Fraudsters can register a trademark before you and demand compensation
The amount of compensation for the use of another’s trademark varies up to 5 million rubles.
Unfair competitors can operate under an identical or similar brand
Without a registered trademark, it will be difficult to punish such offenders.
Inability to franchise
If you want to create a franchise, you need to register a trademark.
Loss of confidence and tainted image
Large marketplaces tend to have more trust in companies with registered trademarks.
No more risks!

Frequently Asked Questions from our clients
Can a trademark have multiple owners?
No, although current practices can always change. The only possible way is to apply for a collective mark on behalf of an organization with a common charter, but this a separate procedure with its own nuances.
Will I get a refund if the trademark is refused?
Rospatent does not refund filing and examination fees, because technically the service of accepting and processing the application has been rendered. Accordingly, we do not refund the cost of preparing an application that has already been filed. To avoid a refusal or prepare for the potential obstacles during registration, we always recommend to conduct a search before filing an application. The search allows you to find out whether someone has already registered a similar or identical trademark and whether your mark can be refused by Rospatent based on the provisions of the Russian Civil Code.
What types of trademarks exist?
There are many: verbal, image, combined, three-dimensional, holographic, moving, color, perceived by others feelings (sound, olfactory, etc.)
Who can use the ® and ™ symbols?
The ® and TM symbols are warning labels used by trademark owners as an indicator of ownership. The TM symbol has no legal force in Russia (it is used in the United States and Europe to indicate trademarks that are still pending or protected on the basis of use). The ® symbol is mentioned in the Civil Code and the Criminal Code: the owner of a Russian trademark is allowed (but not obliged) to use such symbols as R, ®, “trademark”, or “registered trademark”. If anyone starts using such symbols with trademarks not registered in the Russia, they will be criminally prosecuted.
When can I start using my brand?
Using a brand before obtaining a trademark certificate may be dangerous in terms of violating someone’s rights: you never know if someone has already registered something similar. In this situation, the owner of the earlier trademark owner may accuse you of violating their trademark rights. Therefore, as soon as the creative process of creating a name and logo for your brand has been completed, it is advisable to check if someone has registered an identical or similar name or a logo. For this purpose, we conduct searches covering registered trademarks and pending applications. You can also order a search while still deciding on a suitable name – this could help eliminate variants that have low chances of being registered.
Who can apply for trademark registration?
Individual entrepreneurs or legal entities. Russian individuals can’t own a trademark unless they are citizens of a foreign country where this is allowed.
Is it possible not to involve Rospatent?
No. The Federal Intellectual Property Service (Rospatent) is a federal executive authority in charge of trademark registration, among other things.
Is a trademark protected worldwide?
A Russian trademark is protected only in the territory of the Russian Federation. Protection in other countries can be obtained via: – national applications in each of the countries you are interested in; – international registration through to the Madrid system, which allows you to obtain protection in one or multiple countries of your choosing (122 countries are available, which account for over 80% of global trade); – a European trademark that will be protected in the territory of all countries of the European Union (this option is relevant if the EU is your only target market).
Can I claim several variants of the mark in a single application?
Only one variant of the mark is allowed per application, which means that separate applications need to be filed to protect different trademark variants.
What is the lifetime of a trademark?
Infinite! In fact, 10 years with infinite ability to be renewed.
