Croatia trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Croatia, from official sources. Signa does not sync the SIPO register yet. It holds EU trade marks from EUIPO and WIPO Madrid designations that cover Croatia.
Search the SIPO register
Trademarks (based on a national protection system) is State Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Croatia's own search tool.
- Search by
- application or registration number, verbal element, holder name, holder country, representative, Nice class, Vienna class, goods and services (Croatian), application, publication, registration and expiry dates, priority country, number and date, mark type
- Languages
- Croatian, English
- Free
- Yes
- Account required
- No
- Limits
- Covers published national applications and registrations only; applications not yet published are not included, and the office states the data are informative only.
How to search
- Open the search pages and choose Trademarks for national marks, or International Trademarks (HR) for international registrations designating Croatia.
- For each criterion, pick a field from the field menu, then an operator (=, <, >, <=, >=, LIKE or BETWEEN), then type the value.
- Use LIKE with * as a wildcard, for example a holder field of KRAŠ* finds every holder name starting with KRAŠ; searches are not case-sensitive.
- All fields are combined with AND; within one field several values can be combined with OR or AND.
- Search EUIPO's databases or TMview as well, since EU trade marks also have effect in Croatia but are not in this national database.

Croatia is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2004-01-23, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
- EU trade mark (EUIPO)
- An EU trade mark gives its owner an exclusive right in all current and future EU Member States, including Croatia.
