Trademark, patent and copyright in Georgia

We register trademarks, file patent applications and arrange copyright protection in Georgia: we check, we file and we run the case through to the decision.

What the work covers

• A preliminary search. We check the register for similar and identical marks. This is the step that saves both the fee and the time: refusal for similarity is the most common outcome.
• Choosing the classes of goods and services the mark is registered for.
• Preparing the application and the description of the object.
• Filing with the authority and support during examination.
• Responses to queries and oppositions during examination.
• Obtaining the certificate and handing the documents over to you.

What is not included

• The authority's decision. Registration cannot be guaranteed: the outcome depends on the examination and on third-party rights.
• State fees - paid separately and depending on the number of classes and the type of object.
• Registration outside Georgia. Protection is country by country; international filing is discussed separately.
• Court enforcement where rights are infringed - that is separate work.

What you will need

• The mark itself: a name, an image, or both.
• The list of goods and services the mark is used for.
• Details of the applicant: an individual or a company.
• The date use began and evidence of it, if any.
• For a patent - a description of the solution and whether it has been published.

How the work goes

1. You describe the case - through the form, by email or in a messenger.
2. A lawyer reviews the facts: what you already have, what has to be obtained, where the weak points are.
3. We agree the scope and the price. Up to this point you pay nothing.
4. We sign a contract in which the scope of the service is set out in writing.
5. You hand over the documents, we check the set and tell you what is missing.
6. We run the procedure and keep you informed at every step.
7. You receive the result and the full set of documents.

Prices

The price depends on the type of object and the number of classes. State fees are paid separately.

Consultation - from $30. The price for your case is confirmed before the work starts and fixed in the contract.

What is outside our control

• The outcome of the examination and how long it takes.
• Third-party rights that do not appear in the register.
• Oppositions from owners of similar marks.

If the search shows a high risk of refusal, we say so before filing - the fee is not refunded on a refusal.

About this page. It sets out the scope of our service and the general order of the procedure. It is not legal advice and not a public offer: the scope, the timing and the price for a particular matter are agreed individually and recorded in the contract. Requirements, fees and practice change, so anything here is checked against the position on the day you apply. In many procedures the final decision rests with the competent authority and its discretion, so a positive outcome cannot be guaranteed.
