In Croatia, trademark registration is mandatory in order to obtain rights over a mark, as the country follows a “first to file” system. Extensive use of an unregistered trademark may, in some cases, prevent a third party from registering or using a similar mark, but it does not grant full legal rights over the trademark.
To obtain protection in Croatia, you can:
Croatia is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, so you can extend an international registration via the Madrid System to cover Croatia. We offer trademark filing services through the Madrid System.
If you register a combined trademark (word + figurative elements) in Croatia, your exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration as filed and registered. If you wish to protect the word element or the logo separately, it is recommended to file separate applications for each.
To register a trademark in Croatia, you must provide an original signed power of attorney document.
This allows a local representative to act on your behalf before the Croatian trademarks office.
The average time for a trademark registration in Croatia is around 10 months in straightforward cases.
This is an estimated processing time based on current practices and may vary considerably depending on objections, oppositions, or administrative delays.
Once registered, a trademark in Croatia is valid for ten (10) years from the application date.
It can be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of ten (10) years. Renewal may be requested:
Yes. If a third party attempts to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a main or distinctive part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.
Opposition actions can be filed against a trademark application following its publication in the Croatian Intellectual Property Gazette (the text indicates a period of three (2) months after publication). The chances of success will depend on the circumstances of each case.
Prior use is not required for filing or registering a trademark in Croatia. However, use may help overcome an objection based on lack of distinctiveness, by showing that the mark has acquired distinctiveness through use.
Once registered, if a trademark is not used in Croatia for a consecutive period of five (5) years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use filed by third parties.
