To register a trademark in Kosovo, you need an original signed power of attorney document.

This original POA authorizes the local representative to act on your behalf before KIPA.

The average time to obtain a trademark registration in Kosovo is 10 months.

This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases, based on current processing times, and it may vary considerably depending on the specifics of the application and any objections or oppositions.

Once registered, a trademark in Kosovo enjoys protection for a fixed term and can then be renewed:

• The initial term of protection is ten (10) years from the application date.
• The registration can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.
• Renewal can be requested up to six (6) months before the expiration date.
• If the renewal is not filed before expiry, it can still be requested during a grace period of six (6) months after expiration, subject to the payment of late renewal fees.

If the trademark is not renewed within the allowed time, the registration will lapse and you will lose the exclusive rights, meaning a new application would be required to regain protection.

Yes. If a third party files a trademark application that is identical or confusingly similar to your own mark for related goods or services, you can take action.

In Kosovo, opposition actions can be filed by third parties:

• Within three (3) months from the publication of the application in the Official Bulletin of the Kosovo Intellectual Property Office.

The outcome of an opposition will depend on the evidence of your rights, the similarity between the marks, the overlap between goods/services, and other factual elements of each case.

Use is not required for registration, but it is important for maintaining the registration:

• If the trademark is not used for a continuous period of five (5) years after registration,
• It becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use, which may be initiated by third parties.

To avoid this, the trademark should be used genuinely in commercial activities in Kosovo.
