End-to-End Trademark Registration in Estonia

Estonia is a first-to-file jurisdiction, which means that rights arise from registration, not from use. In most cases, unregistered trademarks are not protected, except in very limited exceptional situations.

To obtain protection, you must file an application with the **Estonian Patent Office (EPA). You can also protect your mark in Estonia through:

• A **European Union Trademark (EUTM), which covers the entire EU, including Estonia.
• An international registration via the Madrid System, designating Estonia.

If you register a **combined trademark (word + logo), your exclusive rights are limited to the exact configuration as filed and registered. If you want to use and protect the word element and the logo separately, you should file separate applications for the word mark and for the figurative/logo mark.

To register a trademark in Estonia, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed. No notarization or legalization required.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average time for a straightforward trademark application to proceed to registration in Estonia is around 9 months.

This is an estimate based on current processing times and can vary depending on the Office’s workload, objections, or oppositions.

Once your trademark is registered in Estonia:

• It is valid for 10 years from the registration date.
• It can be renewed indefinitely for additional 10-year periods.
• Renewal can be requested as early as twelve (12) months before expiration.
• You may still renew during a 6-month grace period after expiration, subject to late renewal fees.

After registration, you hold exclusive rights to use the mark in Estonia for the protected goods and services and can act against infringers.

Yes.

Third parties may file opposition actions against a trademark application in Estonia:

• Within two (2) months from the date of publication of the application in the official bulletin of the Estonian Patent Office.

The chances of success will depend on the similarity of the signs, the goods/services, and the overall circumstances of the case.

Use is not required to obtain registration, but it is required to maintain it over time:

• If a registered trademark is not used for a continuous period of five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use.
• To avoid cancellation, the trademark must be used on a commercial scale in Estonia.
