End-to-End Trademark Registration in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is a first-to-file jurisdiction, which means you generally only obtain trademark rights by registering your mark. Only in exceptional cases can an unregistered trademark be protected.

To secure protection, you must file an application with the **Bureau of Intellectual Property of the Office of Economic Affairs (LIPO) in Liechtenstein. You can also seek protection via an international registration through the Madrid System, designating Liechtenstein in your international application.

If you file a combined mark (word + logo), your exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration registered. If you plan to use and protect the word element and the logo separately, you should file additional applications for each version.

To register a trademark in Liechtenstein, 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 to obtain a trademark registration in Liechtenstein is around 5 months for straightforward cases. Actual timeframes may vary depending on the workload of the office and any issues raised during examination.

Once your trademark is registered in Liechtenstein:

• It is protected for 10 years from the application date.
• It can be renewed indefinitely in further periods of 10 years each.
• If you miss the renewal deadline, you can still renew during a 6-month grace period after expiration, subject to a late renewal fee.
• Even after registration, your mark may face cancellation actions if a third party relies on prior rights or on lack of use.

No pre-registration opposition procedure is available in Liechtenstein.

However, once a trademark has been registered, third parties can file cancellation actions based on earlier rights. Whether such actions succeed will depend on the specific facts and evidence in each case.

Yes. Although use is not required to obtain registration, a registered trademark must not remain unused for 5 consecutive years.

If the mark is not used for such a period, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use.
