How we can help
-
IP Strategy, Searches and Availability Checks
Before filing, the law office searches the databases of the Croatian State Intellectual Property Office (DZIV) and other registers to check whether a name or sign is available for trademark registration. We advise on the best form of protection for your brand, design or invention and generally recommend registering both a word mark and a figurative (logo) mark.
-
Trademark and Industrial Design Registration
The law office handles trademark registration in Croatia and extension of protection through an EU trademark and in other markets, with careful selection of the classes of goods and services that define the scope of protection. Through industrial design registration, we protect product shape and packaging.
-
Patents and Utility Models
The law office provides legal assistance in protecting inventions through a patent, valid for up to 20 years, or a utility model, valid for up to 10 years, which is faster and less expensive to obtain but protects products only. We draft the description and claims carefully, as an application cannot be expanded after filing.
-
Filing and Representation Before DZIV and International Bodies
The law office prepares and files trademark, design and patent applications electronically, which halves the basic filing fee, and represents clients before DZIV and international bodies. We monitor priority, examination and renewal deadlines, since missing them may result in loss of rights.
-
Licensing, Transfer and Enforcement of IP Rights
The law office drafts licence, assignment, distribution and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that let rights holders generate income from their trademark, design or patent under controlled terms. In cases of trademark infringement or unfair competition, we take legal action to protect your rights.
