Finland trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Finland, from official sources. Signa does not sync the PRH register yet. It holds EU trade marks from EUIPO and WIPO Madrid designations that cover Finland.
Search the PRH register
Trademark Information Service is Finnish Patent and Registration Office's own search tool.
- Search by
- word elements, application number, registration number, submission reference, applicant or holder, representative, business ID, application date, registration date, opposition period start date, expiry date, Nice class, goods and services term, Vienna code
- Languages
- Finnish, Swedish, English
- Free
- Yes
- Account required
- No
- Limits
- Shows at most 3,000 results per search; covers Finnish national marks and international registrations designating Finland, not EU trade marks.
How to search
- Open the Trademark Information Service and type words in the mark, an application or registration number, or a submission reference in the search field, then click Search.
- Truncate terms with * (begin*, *mid*, *end), combine them with AND, OR and NOT, and put an exact phrase in quotation marks.
- Use Advanced search to add the holder, representative, business ID, dates, class, goods and services term or Vienna code, and to include expired, rejected or withdrawn marks.
- Switch between card view, table view and image grid, and use Filter and sort to limit results by trademark type and status.
- Search EUIPO's eSearch plus as well, since EU trade marks are valid in Finland but are not in this service.

Good to know
- An applicant or proprietor not domiciled in the European Economic Area must have a representative domiciled in the European Economic Area (Trade Marks Act 544/2019, section 28).
- The 10-year term runs from the filing date under the Trade Marks Act that entered into force on 2019-05-01; PRH states that older registrations are counted from the application date or the registration date depending on when the application was filed.
- An application may be filed in English, but the applicant must then choose Finnish or Swedish as the processing language.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Finland is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1996-04-01, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
- EU trade mark (EUIPO)
- EU trade marks registered by EUIPO are valid in all EU countries, including Finland, and can be an obstacle to registering a trademark in Finland.
