about
A trade mark can be any sign intended to distinguish the goods/services of different entrepreneurs. The prerequisite is that they can be graphically represented in the trade mark register and the form to be protected can be specified.
Trade mark protection in Poland lasts for 10 years and can be extended for another period (always 10 years). More information about trade marks and their types can be found on the website of the Polish Patent Office (uprp.gov.pl).
