Trademark Management in Austria: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademark management in Austria is governed by a strong legal framework that ensures robust protection for brand owners. Trademarks are registered with the Austrian Patent Office (Österreichisches Patentamt), granting exclusive rights to use and defend your brand throughout Austria. The process includes application, examination, publication, and a three-month opposition period. Ongoing management—such as updating ownership details, appointing a legal representative, and handling oppositions—is essential to maintaining and enforcing your rights.
