What are the phases of application after a trademark has been filed in Slovenia?

Follow

The process of trademark application in Slovenia in its proper order is as follows: 

1. Examination – All applications will be examined in terms of:
   • Compliance with the requirements
   • Goods and services must be properly classified
   • The mark is clearly described and easy to understand
   • The mark is distinct or different from others
   • The mark is not deceiving
2. Publication – Third parties will be given an opportunity to initiate a dispute or opposition. Information about the application will be made accessible to everyone:
   • Mark
   • Applicants’ name and address
   • Applicants’ state/country of incorporation
   • Application’s date and number
   • Goods and/or services
   • Information on priority claim
   • Trademark representation
3. Registration – If the application was not rejected during the examination phase and if all oppositions are dismissed, the trademark office will then issue the registration certification.
