3. The process of trademark registration in Armenia

 

The trademark registration process includes the following steps:

 

1. Filing the application, referring only to one trademark.

2. Preliminary examination of an application. Within a period of one month from the date of filing, the State Authorised Body registers the application, gives the serial number and conducts an examination to check whether the filed documents meet the Law requirements. 

3. Publication of the Application for third parties remarks and oppositions. The application is published in the “Industrial Property” Official Bulletin.

4. Substantive Examination of a Trademark. Within a period of three months from the day of the application publication a substantive examination, checking the compliance on conditions of protection is carried out. In case there is no existence of absolute and/or relative grounds for refusal, the decision of trademark registration is made.

 

It is advisable to conduct the trademark preliminary search before filing the application via International, such as Madrid Monitor and Global Brand Database, and  Armenian search tools to understand the possible scope of risks regarding the trademark essence or third parties prior rights.

 

The applications and other documents to be filed with the State Authorized Body shall be of the officially specified form.

4. Documents required for registering a trademark in Armenia

 

The following set of documents shall be filed in order to register a trademark: 

 

  • an official application form;
  • payment receipt for the application filing state fee and its examination;
  • document certifying the power of the representative;
  • a request for claiming a priority (if applicable);
  • Regulations for the use of a collective mark (if necessary);
  • Regulations for the use of a certification mark (if necessary).
  • a permission issued by the authorized body (if necessary);
  • consent of the prior proprietor (if necessary);

 

The application shall be filed in Armenian. The attached documents may be submitted in other languages on condition that the foreign applicants submit corresponding translations within a period of two months. Also read about  trademark registration in Canada.

 

In Armenia the trademark can be registered in the name of a natural person, private entrepreneur or company and the set of documents can vary depending on the applicant status.

 

The representative’s power of attorney is submitted to the State Authorised Body alongside with the application or within two months after the application date.

 

Any applicant who wishes to benefit from the right of priority submits to the State Authorised Body a certified copy of the first application and its Armenian translation together with the application or within a period of two months.

5. Trademark opposition process in Armenia

 

Any third person may, within a period of two months following the publication of the application, present a written remark to the State Authorized Body against the registration of the claimed trademark, stating that its registration is subject to refusal.  

 

The right holder of the trademark or well-known trademark, as well as holders of earlier rights in geographical indications or designations of origin, industrial designs or utility models, protected name or surname, pseudonym, portrait, the holders of earlier rights in copyrighted works in the field of literature, science and art protected in the Republic of Armenia and any other interested person may, within a period of two months following the publication of the application, present a written opposition to the State Authorized Body against the registration of the claimed trademark, stating that its registration is subject to refusal.

 

The applicant shall present his considerations within a period of one month following the day of receiving the notification. Such a process may take a few months and if the remark or opposition is successful, including all the stages of the applicant`s responses and claims, the trademark registration will be rejected.
