INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) PROTECTION IN CYPRUS

There is a comprehensive system set up in place to guarantee that the IP rights are protected at a National, European and International level.

TRADEMARKS / LOGOS / DESIGNS

If you aim to protect your Trademark/Logo/Design you may succeed this in Cyprus through the following ways:

1. REGISTRATION AT THE CYPRUS REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES OFFERING PROTECTION AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.

2. REGISTRATION AT THE COMMUNITY TRADE MARK OFFICE VIA CYPRUS, WHICH OFFERS PROTECTION THROUGHOUT THE TERRITORY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.

3. REGISTRATION AT THE INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF THE OF THE WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANISATION (WIPO), WHILE CYPRUS BEING PART OF THE MADRID PROTOCOL AND A SIGNATORY OF THE PARIS TREATY, WHICH OFFERS INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION.

Before a trade mark can be the subject of an international application, it must already have been registered, or registration must have been applied for, for the same class goods or services with the trademark registration office of a country party of the Madrid Protocol
