With iGERENT, your trademark registration in Austria is simple, secure, and fully compliant.

To register a trademark in Austria, you must provide an original signed Power of Attorney (POA) document.

The POA must be signed by the applicant (individual or company) and authorizes a representative to act on the applicant’s behalf before the Austrian Patent Office (ÖPA) during the filing and registration process.

The average application process takes around 5 months. This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases, based on current processing times, and may vary depending on the circumstances of each application.

The Austrian trademarks office (ÖPA) examines the application to verify that the trademark complies with the requirements for registration.

Once the application is accepted for registration, the grant of registration is published, which marks the beginning of a three-month opposition period during which third parties can file an opposition.

If no successful opposition is filed, the registration remains in force. Austrian trademarks are valid for ten (10) years from the application date. Renewal can be requested:

• From one year before the expiry date until the last day of the month of the renewal date, and
• During a grace period of six (6) months after expiry, subject to payment of a late renewal fee.

Yes. If a third party intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.

Once the grant of registration is published by ÖPA, there is a three (3) month period during which third parties can file an opposition. The chances of success in an opposition will vary in each case depending on the specific facts and evidence.

Use of the trademark is not required for registration in Austria.

However, if the trademark is not used for a period of five (5) years since the last genuine use, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. The use must be on a commercial scale in Austria to be considered sufficient.

Austria recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks through the Austrian Patent Office (Österreichisches Patentamt). To register a 3D trademark in Austria:

• The shape must be distinctive and non-functional, capable of distinguishing your goods or services from those of others.
• Austria allows the registration of product shapes, packaging and containers as 3D marks.
• Applicants must submit clear graphical representations of the 3D mark from various angles.
• If the 3D mark lacks inherent distinctiveness, the office may require evidence of acquired distinctiveness through use in the Austrian market.

The Austrian Patent Office provides detailed guidelines for 3D trademark applications.
