1. Information on Customer, Applicant, and Trademark
To get started with TM registration, we need some initial information (usually in the form of a completed questionnaire):
Customer details — the information about the person who will enter into the contract with us and pay for the registration.
- A natural person is a citizen of Ukraine, a foreign citizen, a stateless person;
- A legal entity is Ukrainian or foreign.
For example, the customer of the services of a patent attorney can be a domestic or foreign lawyer who represents the interests of their client, a local representative office of a foreign legal entity, an enterprise owner, etc.
Applicant Details —the information about the person who will eventually be the owner of the TM after the registration process is completed.
The applicant (the future owner of the TM) may be:
- An individual or a legal entity.
- One or more persons. If there are more than one applicant, the official filing fees increase by 30%.
One person may be both the Applicant (future trademark owner) and the Customer (payer), or these may be different persons. I.e. a Customer may order and pay for trademark registration services either on their own behalf or on behalf of another person.
Logo or wording to be registered as a trademark.
The following types of trademarks are most often registered:
- Word - trademarks consisting of existing or invented words or combinations of letters, numbers (for example, company names, designations that serve to individualize goods or services, slogans used for advertising purposes, mottos, etc.); >
- Visual - trademarks consisting of graphic compositions of any form on the plane (for example: logos, emblems, labels, etc.);
- 3D - trademarks in the form of three-dimensional figures or their compositions (for example: the shape of a bottle, packaging, signs, etc.);
- Combined - trademarks in the form of a combination of verbal designations, flat graphic compositions and/or three-dimensional figures.
Information on goods and/or services to be included in the scope of the trademark protection:
Based on these data, on further steps, we will determine (i) classes of goods and/or services for the purpose of trademark searching, and (ii) list of goods and/or services within the selected classes for the purpose of trademark registration.
2. Contract and Power of Attorney
Based on Customer, Applicant, and Trademark information (obtained in Step 1), we draw up a contract and a power of attorney, and send them to you via email.
To move forward, we need a scanned copies of the documents (the contract signed by the customer and the power of attorney signed by the applicant). After the application is filed we would need the original documents within two months.
- Agreement on the provision of TM registration services — the agreement is signed by the Patent Attorney and the Customer of TM registration services.
- Power of Attorney - signed by the applicant (future TM owner).
3. Cost of drafting, filing and prosecution of a trademark application
| Description | Fees, UAH | |
| 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
An application for trademark registration can be made and submitted in two ways:
- In paper form.
- In electronic form.
The advantage of submitting an application for TM registration electronically is a reduced amount of the official application fee by 20% (3,200 UAH instead of 4,000 UAH for one class of MKTP).
Payment deadline — prior to filing the application.
Time to completion — we draw up and file a application within 1-2 working days after we get Customer's approval of all the details relating to the filing.
Period of examination — under ordinary procedure it is usually 18-20 months of the filing. Under the accelerated procedure — the examiner's decision is usually received in 6-7 months of the filing date.
If the Ukrpatent examiner cites 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.

| 33501 | ATTORNEY’S FEE for paying the publication fee and grant fee, obtaining and forwarding the certificate to the Customer - for residents of Ukraine | 1250.00 |

| 33505 | Trademark grant fee (OFFICIAL FEE) - for non-residents of Ukraine — the equivalent of USD 200 | 8000.00 |
Payment deadline — within 3 months following the positive examiner's decision.
Time to completion — the publication could be requested once the positive examiner's decision is received (usually in 18-20 months following the filing date where no acceleration has been requested, or in 6-7 months following the filing date where the acceleration had been requested).
