We understand the importance of protecting your intellectual property. Therefore, before commencing any work, we always enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with you. This signed agreement legally ensures the complete confidentiality of all information you share with us during our collaboration.

Federal Law No. 193-FZ came into effect at the end of June 2023, granting individuals the ability to become trademark owners. Previously, only legal entities or individual entrepreneurs could be the rights holders.

Although it is impossible to give a 100% guarantee of registration, we offer a strategy that significantly increases your chances of success. The key step is conducting a thorough preliminary search (uniqueness check) even before submitting the application to Rospatent (the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property). The goal of this search is to identify similar or identical designations that could lead to refusal.
Our experienced patent attorneys will analyze the search results and, if necessary, help you make adjustments to your designation. This will maximize its distinctiveness and minimize the risk of overlap with existing marks.

Trademark registration, with our assistance, takes an average of 3–6 months. There is also an expedited procedure, taking approximately 2–3 months. An invention patent is usually processed in 8–12 months, and a utility model patent in 2–5 months.

Yes, expedited registration of a trademark or service mark is possible. Under this procedure, the agency conducts a preliminary search for analogues within 10 days, and the examination of the designation is carried out in just two months.

However, the main drawback of this option is the significantly higher state fee. Registration of a word or graphic mark requires a payment of 94,400 rubles; for a combined mark, the fee will be 188,800 rubles. It is important to note that paying this fee does not guarantee 100% receipt of the registration certificate. Should registration be refused, the paid state fee is not refunded to the applicant.

Although formalizing the registration of a company name and/or logo is not a mandatory requirement but merely a right, exercising this right is crucial for protecting your business. By registering your brand elements, you prevent their unlawful appropriation by competitors who might copy your original idea or design. If a competitor registers your designation in their name, they will have the legal grounds to accuse you of unauthorized use, and proving your priority will be practically impossible.
