What is a trademark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trademark can be <strong>any sign<\/strong> which identifies the goods or services of a given enterprise. However, in order to be eligible for registration, a trademark <strong>must be distinctive<\/strong>. To put it as simply as possible, it is NOT possible register a trademark in Poland whose content reflects the goods or services for which the mark is designed. Trade mark <strong>cannot be also descriptive<\/strong>, i.e. it cannot describe the goods and\/or services that you offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-can-be-a-trademark\">Trademark registration Poland. What can be a trademark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any sign can be a trademark<\/strong>. But what specifically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, it may be a <strong>word, an image, a graphic combined with a word, a sound or a short video<\/strong>. There are even cases of registering a color as a trademark (<a href=\"https:\/\/euipo.europa.eu\/eSearch\/#details\/trademarks\/000212787\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way the sign presents influences what type of mark you will register. Most often, as trademarks, the <strong>company logos<\/strong> (as figurative trademarks) or <strong>company names<\/strong> (as word trademarks) are registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-register-a-trademark\">Trademark registration Poland. How do you register a trademark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The registration of a trademark requires to file an application to the relevant office.<\/strong> In Poland, such an office is the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland (UPRP). The registration of a trademark with the UPRP provides legal protection in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It is also possible to register a trademark within the European Union<\/strong>. In this case, the application should be filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The legal protection works throughout the territory of EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-can-register-a-trademark-in-poland\">Trademark registration Poland. Who can register a trademark in Poland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anyone<\/strong>. There are no restrictions in the law &#8211; a natural person as well as a legal entity can register a trademark. It is not necessary to run a business to register a trademark. An association can alsoregister a trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The country of origin of the applicant is irrelevant<\/strong> &#8211; a trademark can also be registered in Poland and within the European Union by a person or entity from outside the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trademarks are most often registered by companies <\/strong>(entrepreneurs &#8211; both natural persons and commercial companies). <em>Why?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-trademark-registration-offer\">Trademark registration Poland. What does trademark registration offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Registering a trademark offers real benefits. What are they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, a <strong>monopoly<\/strong> on the use of a given sign in the course of business. With a registered trademark, you can <strong>prohibit others from using an identical or similar sign<\/strong>. You have the legal means to force others to, for example, change their company name, logo or trade name. <strong>Registering a trademark makes it easier to fight against those who would like to impersonate your brand<\/strong>. In addition, registering a word mark can help you to obtain exclusive use of an internet domain with the same content as the word mark content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A trademark, like any property right, is transferable. If your brand achieves a really high reputation, you <strong>can sell the trademark and simply make money from it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A trademark <strong>can be subject to license<\/strong> &#8211; the owner of the trademark will then charge license fees. It is worth noting that a license can be helpful for tax optimization. For example, the shareholders of a limited liability company can register a trademark in their name and then grant the company a license to use it. The shareholders then charge license fees. In this way, the <strong>shareholder partially avoids double taxation of profit from the <a href=\"https:\/\/cgolegal.com\/fr\/company-registration-poland\/limited-liability-company-in-poland\/\">Polish limited liability company<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A registered trademark is also subject to <strong>depreciation<\/strong>. The registration of the trademark can therefore provide the company with tax deductible cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-we-help-you-with-trademark-registration-in-poland\">Trademark registration Poland.
