Instruction manual
1
Examine the trademark requirements that apply to the designations to determine the identity of the product. It must be original in origin and have a distinctive ability. The image cannot be misleading to potential buyers.
2
Determine who will be the copyright holder of the trademark you developed for manufactured products. This may be in accordance with the law of a company or individual entrepreneur, that is, registration of rights to it is carried out only on a legal entity. A license agreement should be concluded with the copyright holder, which will be a confirmation of his rights. If for three years the trademark is not used for any reason, then after this period Rospatent may cancel it.
3
Write a list of goods that you are going to produce under the developed trademark. It should be compiled using the International Classification of Goods and Services. You need to independently determine the class to which this or that product belongs. If you could not find the products in the classifier, then in the future there may arise problems (if you do not correctly classify the goods) with Rospatent, who will ask you to make appropriate adjustments (which requires payment of a state duty).
4
Make an application for registration of a trademark. It should contain an application for registration of the developed designation (do not forget to write the personal data of the applicant, his address of residence), a list of goods, the trademark itself, its description (type, composition, meaning).
5
After notification by Rospatent of the possibility of registering a trademark, write an application for a certificate of designation. Attach a receipt or other document to the document confirming the payment of state duty.
