The procedure of international registration:

A single international application is filed, which covers all the countries where it is necessary to have legal protection of the trademark. International applications are filed through Russian Patents and Trademarks Authority.

In 2-3 months the trademark automatically becomes registered in all the countries covered by the application. After that patent authorities of the countries covered by the international registration may send out a provisionsl refusal of trademark’s registration on the territory of the relevant country. The timeframe for the above procedure is 18 months from the date of notification of trademark’s registration in the International Register.

The validity of international registration may become void in all countries if the relevant certificate of trademark registration will be cancelled during the first 5 years from the date the trademark was registered in the International Register.
