Ukrainian trademarks | General Overview

Trademark registration is a multi-stage process of building up the scope of trademark protection based on customer needs.

We outline 3 core steps for registering a trademark in Ukraine. Some steps are optional (such as TM searches), however we recommend paying due attention to each step so that the registration process will be smooth, predictable, controllable, and even enjoyable.

Step 1. Trademark Availability Search (Optional)

Knockout trademark searches — Ukraine — up to 2 working days

		Вартість, грн.
30601	ATTORNEY'S FEE for searching identical and very similar trademarks and pending applications using Ukrpatent Special Information System — coef. 1 (1 search querry)	125,00

30303	OFFICIAL FEE for search for identical and similar trademarks and pending applications — word mark [10.4] — each class of goods or services beyond 1	174* / 348**

Opinion on trademark availability for registration

30702	ATTORNEY'S FEE for opinion on trademark availability for registration in writing — for each further set of 20 results above te first 20 — coefficient 1	250,00

Step 2. Drafting and Filing a Trademark Application

		Вартість, грн.
31601	ATTORNEY'S FEE for using standard descriptions of goods and services for a trademark application — per each class of goods or services	1000,00
31603	ATTORNEY’S FEE for drafting and filing a trademark application — coef. 1	2500,00
31604	Trademark prosecution (tracking deadlines, receiving documents, reporting an office action)	1000,00
31701	Trademark application filing fee (1 applicant) (OFFICIAL FEE) [40100] - 1 class of goods or services	3200* / 4160**
31702	OFFICIAL FEE for indication of colors [40100] - 1 applicant	800* / 1040**

* one applicant

** several applicants

If the Ukrpatent examiner finds a conflicting mark (an already registered or a prior-filed pending application owned by another party, being a ground for refusal because of “likelihood of confusion”), there could be additional costs on preparing and filing a response to such a refusal (Office Action) (from EUR 160 per one ground). The likelihood of a preliminary refusal significantly reduces if a trademark search had been conducted and the decision on type and strategy of trademark registration was based on the search results.
