Moldova trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Moldova, from official sources. Signa does not sync the AGEPI register yet. It holds WIPO Madrid designations that cover Moldova.
Search the AGEPI register
Mărci naționale (AGEPI databases, national trademarks) is State Agency on Intellectual Property's own search tool.

- Interface in Romanian only; covers national applications and marks, not international registrations; plain-HTTP links to the database are blocked by a web application firewall, so use the HTTPS address.
How to search
- Open the national trademarks database (Mărci naționale) under AGEPI's databases.
- In each row pick a criterion (Numărul mărcii, Număr de depozit, Denumirea mărcii, Numele/denumirea solicitantului, Clasificarea de la Nisa, Clasificarea de la Viena or Statutul cererii/mărcii), choose Conţine (contains) or =, and enter a value.
- Combine up to five rows with Şi (AND), Sau (OR) or Diferit (AND NOT) and click Căutare (Search); the page shows the total number of hits.
- Check international registrations protected in Moldova separately in WIPO's Madrid Monitor, which the database page links to.
