Trademark Management in Moldova: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademark management in Moldova is governed by a modern legal framework aligned with European standards, ensuring robust protection for trademark owners. The registration process is handled by the State Agency on Intellectual Property (AGEPI), which oversees the examination, publication, and opposition phases. Foreign applicants must appoint a registered Moldovan patent attorney to represent them before the AGEPI. After filing, trademarks are published for a three-month opposition period, and if unopposed, proceed to substantive examination and registration—a process typically taking 12–14 months.
