The average time frame to register a trademark in Italy is around 7 months for straightforward cases. This is an estimated processing time based on current application timeframes and may vary considerably.

Once registered, a trademark in Italy:

• Is valid for ten (10) years starting from the application date.
• Can be renewed for successive ten-year periods indefinitely.

The renewal can be requested:

• At any time during the 12 months preceding the expiration date, and
• During a grace period of 6 months after expiration, subject to the payment of additional (late) renewal fees.

Although the mark does not need to be in use at the moment of registration, if it is not used for a continuous period of five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use.

Yes. After the UIBM examines the application and finds it acceptable, the mark is published for opposition.

• Third parties may file opposition actions within three (3) months from the publication date.

If a third party attempts to register or use a mark 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. The probabilities of success will depend on the circumstances of each case.

Use is not required for the trademark to be registered initially in Italy.

However, to maintain the registration:

• If the trademark is not used for a consecutive period of five (5) years after registration, third parties may file cancellation actions based on lack of use.

Therefore, while use is not required at filing or registration, genuine use within five years is important to avoid vulnerability to cancellation.

Italy recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks through the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (Ufficio Italiano Brevetti e Marchi – UIBM).

When registering a 3D mark:

• Applicants must provide a clear graphical representation of the mark from multiple angles.
• The 3D shape must be distinctive and not solely functional.

Italy allows protection of product shapes, packaging or containers as 3D trademarks. If the 3D mark does not have inherent distinctiveness, the office may require evidence of acquired distinctiveness through use in the Italian market. For more details, you can visit the UIBM website.
