Founder & Trademark Attorney ·

As with most jurisdictions, any natural person or legal entity can file an application with the ÚPVSR. There are no restrictions based on nationality or residence. Furthermore, a trademark can be owned by two or more joint owners.

The applicant should be the person or business that owns, or will own, the mark and use it in commerce.

Foreign applicants without a domicile or seat in Slovakia (or the EU/EEA) must appoint an authorized representative to act before the ÚPV SR.
