Two systems, one Czech use

Both ÚPV and EUIPO may matter for a brand used in Czechia

National mark · ÚPV

A Czech national trade mark applies in Czechia and is administered by the Czech Industrial Property Office.

EU trade mark · EUIPO

One application can obtain unitary protection across every EU Member State. An EUTM has no separate “Czech part”.

Other rights

International WIPO registrations, unregistered signs, company names and other earlier rights may also be relevant.

How to read a search

Identical text may be less relevant in a different class, while a similar word in the same field may matter. The overall similarity of signs and the goods or services involved must be assessed.

EUIPO in numbers

European and Czech statistics are best kept side by side

National ÚPV counts and EUIPO records should not be added without explanation: they represent different territorial rights, and our EUIPO mirror intentionally contains only named records relevant to name checks.

Czech perspective

EUIPO’s official Czechia report mainly tracks filings and owners attributed to Czechia. These are not marks effective only in Czechia.

European perspective

EUIPO publishes monthly filing and registration trends, breakdowns by country or territory, goods and services classes and leading filers.

Local mirror

The indicative search currently serves 2,184,196 relevant named records. This is not an official count of all EUIPO filings.
