Good to know
- Persons without permanent residence or a seat in Slovakia must be represented by an authorised representative (patent attorney or lawyer); this does not apply to parties from states of the European Economic Area, who must instead give the office a delivery address in an EEA state.
- Until registration, third parties can also file written observations on the grounds in section 5 of the Trademarks Act No. 506/2009); the person who files them does not become a party to the proceedings.
- Renewal can be requested at the earliest in the last year of validity and no later than 6 months after it expires; with an electronic filing, a slovensko.sk mailbox and fee payment within three working days, the office aims to order publication within about 15 working days of filing.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Slovakia is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1997-09-13, 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 Slovakia.
