What information do I need to file a trademark application with the ÚPV SR?

Founder & Trademark Attorney · October 11, 2024

A Slovak trademark application requires minimal documentation. You need to provide:

Applicant details: full name or company name, address or registered seat, and identifying data.
A clear representation of the mark: the text for a word mark, or an image file for a figurative (logo) mark.
A list of goods and services organized by Nice Classification class.
Where a representative is appointed, a power of attorney.

The administrative fee must be paid within one month of filing. The ÚPV SR does not send a payment reminder, and if the fee is not paid within that period, the application is treated as never having been filed.
