Registration of Trademarks

Trademark registration in Cyprus is a crucial service for businesses seeking to protect their intellectual property. The process involves submitting an application to the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property, where the trademark is examined for compliance with legal requirements, such as distinctiveness and non-deceptiveness. Once the trademark passes the examination, it is published for a two-month opposition period. If no objections are raised, the trademark is officially registered, granting the applicant exclusive rights to use the mark in Cyprus.

 

Alexandrou Corporate Services can assist businesses throughout the entire trademark registration process in Cyprus (and EU if required). We offer expert guidance in preparing and filing the application with the Cyprus Trade Marks Registrar, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements for a successful registration. Our team can also help with obtaining the necessary power of attorney and completing the required forms.

 

The registered trademark is valid for seven years, after which it can be renewed for an additional 14 years. This process ensures businesses secure long-term protection for their brand identity in Cyprus. Additionally, businesses can benefit from Cyprus' adherence to international conventions like the Paris Convention and the Madrid Protocol, which extends the protection of trademarks beyond national borders.

Furthermore, we can support clients in monitoring their trademark during the opposition period, advising on any challenges that may arise if required.
