Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Malta?

In Malta, rights arise from first use: the person or company that first uses the mark in Maltese territory is the one who initially acquires rights. However, even though registration is not legally mandatory, in practice it is strongly recommended.

Registering your trademark:

  • Clearly establishes ownership, giving you a legal presumption that you are the rightful owner.
  • Helps prevent future disputes about who owns the mark.
  • Makes it easier to act against infringement or misuse by third parties.

You can obtain protection either by:

  • Filing locally in Malta, through the Commerce Department IPS, or
  • Filing a European Union Trademark (EUTM), which gives protection in Malta and all other EU member states.

If you file a combined trademark (word + logo), your exclusive right is limited to that exact configuration. If you also want to protect the word or the figurative element separately, it is advisable to file additional trademarks for those elements alone.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Malta is Completed?

Once your trademark is registered in Malta:

  • It is valid for 10 years from the application date.
  • It can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of 10 years.
  • Renewal can be requested during the 6 months before expiry, or within a 6-month grace period after expiry, subject to late renewal fees.

Even after registration, your trademark:

  • Can be targeted by revocation/cancellation actions if a third party considers it conflicts with their rights.
  • Can be cancelled for lack of use if it is not used for more than 5 consecutive years, unless you can show genuine, commercial-scale use.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Malta?

During the application stage, Malta does not provide formal opposition proceedings for third parties.

However, if a trademark is registered and you believe it conflicts with your own rights, you may:

  • File revocation/cancellation actions after registration to challenge that mark. The likelihood of success will depend on the specific circumstances and the strength of the rights you invoke.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Malta?

  • Use is not required to obtain the initial registration.
  • But if the trademark is not used for more than 5 consecutive years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. To avoid this risk, the trademark should be used on a commercial scale in connection with the goods and/or services for which it is registered.
