Trademark Management in Serbia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademark management in Serbia is governed by the Law on Trademarks and administered by the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia (ZIS). Serbia operates on a “first to file” basis, meaning trademark rights are granted to the first applicant to register. The registration process involves application submission, formal and substantive examination, publication, and a three-month opposition period. Once registered, a trademark is protected for ten years and can be renewed indefinitely. Effective trademark management-including updating contact details, ownership changes, appointing a local legal representative, and handling oppositions-is essential to maintain and enforce your rights in Serbia.
