Czech Republic trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Czech Republic, from official sources. Signa does not sync the ÚPV register yet. It holds EU trade marks from EUIPO and WIPO Madrid designations that cover Czech Republic.
Search the ÚPV register
Online databases: Trademarks (Search trademarks) is Industrial Property Office of the Czech Republic's own search tool.
- Search by
- application number, registration number, trademark name, Nice class, Vienna class, holder or applicant, data source, mark type, active or inactive
- Languages
- Czech, English
- Free
- Yes
- Account required
- No
- Limits
- Searching works without logging in; the database combines Czech national marks with EUIPO and WIPO marks designating the Czech Republic or the EU, and the office warns that data from abroad may contain inaccuracies.
How to search
- Open the trademark search form and switch the interface to English at the top of the page if needed.
- Enter the trademark name, an application or registration number, classes of goods and services, Vienna classification or holder/applicant; join criteria with AND, OR or AND NOT.
- Optionally limit the data source (IPO, WIPO-CZ, WIPO EM/EU, WIPO pending, WIPO 6ter, EUIPO), the mark type and whether the document is active, and tick 'regardless of diacritics'.
- Click Search; the hitlist shows source, application number, registration number, priority, wording, status, holder, classes and type.

Good to know
- A person with no real commercial or industrial establishment, permanent residence or seat in the Czech Republic must be represented in trade mark proceedings; certain EU and EEA persons are exempt but must give an address for service in the Czech Republic (Trade Marks Act 441/2003 Coll., Section 46).
- Any submission to the Office must be filed in Czech (Trade Marks Act 441/2003 Coll., Section 41(3)).
- The application fee is due within 1 month from receipt of the application; if it is not paid in time, the application is deemed not to have been filed, and the Office sends no payment request.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Czech Republic is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1996-09-25, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
- EU trade mark (EUIPO)
- EU trade marks have effect in the Czech Republic as an EU member state; ÚPV's trademark database includes EUIPO marks alongside national and WIPO marks.
