End-to-End Trademark Registration in Latvia

In Latvia, trademark rights are granted to the person or company that first uses the mark, but registration is strongly recommended. While it is not mandatory, registering your trademark provides clear proof of ownership, helps avoid future conflicts, and allows you to enforce your rights in cases of infringement or misuse.

To protect your brand in Latvia, you can file:

• A local application with the **Patent Office of the Republic of Latvia LRPV, or
• A European Union Trademark (EUTM), which grants protection across all EU member states.

Latvia is also a member of the Madrid Protocol, allowing for international protection through the Madrid System.

Prior use of the mark is not required to apply or register.
If you register a combined trademark (word + logo), protection applies only to the exact configuration filed. To use and protect elements separately, filing additional applications is recommended.

To register a trademark in Latvia, you will generally need to provide:

• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

No documents are necessary.

If any additional information or country-specific formalities apply, your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements and guide you through each step.

The average registration process in Latvia takes around 6 months. This estimate applies to straightforward cases and may vary based on examination timeframes or objections.

Once registered, a Latvian trademark is valid for 10 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely in ten-year periods.
Renewal can be requested up to 12 months before the expiry date, or during a 6-month grace period after expiration upon payment of late renewal fees.

Yes. Trademark opposition actions can be filed by third parties:

• Within three (3) months from the publication of a local application, or
• Within four (4) months for international applications under the Madrid System.
  Oppositions can be based on confusing similarity with your registered or prior trademark. The success of such actions will depend on the circumstances of each case.

No, use is not required for registration.
However, if the mark is not used for five (5) consecutive years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. Use must be on a commercial scale to maintain protection.
