Trademark
Trademark is a designation used to individualize goods, work performed or services rendered by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs. Verbal, pictorial, three-dimensional and other designations or their combinations in any color or color combination can be registered as a trademark.
7 reasons for trademark registration:
1. Protection of Your trademark from possible infringements of competitors.
2. The possibility of making a profit from the use of a trademark (through making licensing agreements, working on a franchise or selling a trademark).
3. Increase the market value of Your organization.
4. Increase the authority of Your organization in the domestic and foreign markets.
5. Improving the competitiveness of products and services of Your organization in the domestic and foreign markets.
6. Statement on the balance sheet of a trademark organization as an intangible asset.
7. The possibility of reducing the taxable base of the organization by the trademark registration.
The trademark registration is carried out by the federal executive authority for intellectual property - the Federal Institute for Industrial Property (FIPS, Rospatent).
After trademark registration in the permitted manner, protection against unfair actions of competitors in relation to a trademark is carried out by its right holder (legal entity or individual entrepreneur), in particular, by filing a claim to the Arbitration court, as well as to the law enforcement agencies (in the presence of a crime).
On average, a trademark registration takes 12 months.
A certificate of trademark registration is issued for a period of 10 years and is valid throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. Upon expiration of the specified period, the right holder has the right to extend the validity of the certificate for the next period, while paying the necessary state fee.
