Trademark Registration in Russia

We assist businesses with protecting brands in Russia through trademark clearance, application preparation and registration support. The service is suitable for foreign manufacturers, marketplace sellers, distributors and Russian operating companies.

Practical approach

We start with the mark itself, the intended goods and services, ownership structure and existing international portfolio. A Russian filing should fit the commercial use of the brand rather than simply reproduce a foreign class list.

Documents useful for the first review

How we work

  1. Clarify the mark and commercial scope.
  2. Run a preliminary conflict review.
  3. Prepare the goods and services specification.
  4. File the application with Rospatent.
  5. Respond to examination issues within the agreed scope.
  6. Support registration and later portfolio changes.

Key risks

Earlier rightsSimilar earlier marks may block or narrow registration.
Wrong ownerThe applicant should match the business and licensing structure.
Overbroad classesA generic class list may increase cost or create later vulnerability.
Marketplace useMarketplace brand disputes can arise before the registration process is complete.

Preparing for the first consultation

The document set for Trademark Registration in Russia depends on the facts already recorded, the parties involved and the stage of the procedure. We therefore check the source documents before fixing the filing route.
