    • Can you claim priority for a trademark application in Serbia?

    Yes, you can claim priority in Serbia if these conditions are met:

    • Your home country is part of the Paris Convention.
    • You filed your home application within six months before applying in Serbia.
    • Your home country is a member of the World Trade Organization.
    • You can base an International Registration on a national application or registration in Serbia.

    Note: It's advisable to consult a trademark attorney for more detailed information.

    What actions are necessary to meet the usage requirement for a trademark?

    To keep a trademark active, it must be used within five years from either the date it was registered or the last time it was used.

    How many trademark applications should I submit?

    The number of applications you should file depends on your mark's features, your budget, and the level of protection you want in Serbia.

    If your trademark includes unique text and design elements (like graphics or logos) and you want both protected, we suggest filing two trademark applications: one for the text (as a "Word Mark") and another for the design (as a "Combined Mark").

    Filing two applications offers these benefits:

  • Stronger and wider protection. If someone files a "Combined Mark" with similar text but a different design, their mark might be registered if you only filed a "Combined Mark" and not a "Word Mark," since their mark is still considered different overall.
  • Protection if your logo changes. Companies often update their logos. If you only file a "Combined Mark" and not a "Word Mark," your new logo won't be protected. You must use your trademark as registered, or it could be canceled.
  • Effective protection for text and design. A "Word Mark" application lets you use your mark in various ways, like stylized text or different designs, as long as they don't closely resemble others' registered trademarks. A "Combined Mark" protects your design elements.

    • If your trademark includes a slogan or a unique design symbol, consider filing separate applications for each to enhance protection.

    What rights do I have if I register a trademark in Serbia?

    To gain rights to a trademark in Serbia, you must register it first. Serbia operates on a 'first to file' basis.

    What rights do you gain by registering a trademark?

    Registering a trademark grants the following rights:

    • Right to sue for infringement if others use a confusingly similar trademark
    • Permission to license the trademark to others

    What is the typical duration for trademark registration approval?

    Typically, it takes about 6 months to get a trademark registered, as long as there are no objections or challenges.

    Do I have to provide a Power of Attorney?

    Applicants are required to provide a power of attorney.

    Is it necessary to use my trademark before applying for registration?

    No, you don't need to use your trademark before applying for registration.

    What are the reasons for which a registration can be canceled?

    Registration can be canceled for the following reasons:

    • Conflicting proprietary rights or an earlier registration
    • The mark is descriptive
    • The mark lacks distinctiveness
    • The mark is misleading, deceptive, or offensive

    • Copyright infringement
    • Conflicts with well-known or famous marks
