FAQs
With the General Directorate of Industrial Property or, when the mark is already registered or applied for abroad, through the international Madrid system, designating Albania. A trademark registered in the European Union does not cover Albania.
Registration is valid for a set period and can be renewed indefinitely, provided renewal is made in time. If a mark is not used for a long period, its revocation can be requested.
If the application is still pending, you can file an opposition after it is published. If the mark is registered, you can request its revocation or invalidation, and you can take action in court against unauthorised use. Deadlines are short, so contact us as soon as you notice it.
Every engagement starts with a written agreement that also sets the fee.
