Patent Attorney/Trademark Attorney/ Plant breeders’ rights Attorney in Estonia

We offer full range of IP services in Estonia and provide all necessary legal assistance required for protection of IPRs. We advise on trademark registration in Estonia which includes conducting sophisticated trademark search services, prosecuting and maintenaning trademarks in Estonia. We advise on assignment and license agreements and, if necessary, represent clients at the Estonian Courts and other relevant state authorities.

We also provided assistance with regard to many cases related to overcoming provisional refusals in Estonia against international applications filed through the WIPO’s Madrid System as well as successfully represented our clients on cancellation procedures in Estonia.

We have extensive experience in entering trademarks into the Estonian Customs Register. Owners are entitled to enter their trademarks into the Customs Register upon an application to the customs authorities. This helps prevent counterfeits entering the country, as well as “parallel imports”. Thus, recording trademarks with the Estonian Customs Register is a highly recommended step which ensures better protection of trademark owners’ rights.

We provide expert solutions based on our extensive knowledge of the local market and existing IP practice in Estonia. We research and analyse ongoing developments in the local market and constantly monitor the local market in order to timely alarm our clients about any developments that may affect their IPRs in this country. Registering your trademark is not the finale stage of protecting your brand. You need to be aware about the proper way of using your mark as well as carry out market monitoring in order to prevent your mark to become vulnerable for cancellation procedures as well as preventing others from unlawful use of your mark. Our clients enjoy Efendi’s sophisticated IP services in Estonia and can always rely on our prompt and efficient support whenever it is needed.

We provide services to conduct regular monitoring of trademarks in Estonia in order to discover attempts of registration of trademarks or designations similar to them by other persons. The regular monitoring includes on-line monitoring, sending cease and desist letters, out-of-court negotiations in Estonia.

Trademarks fulfil their function not only when they are actually used on or for goods or services, but also when they are used in advertising. The use of trademarks in advertising in Estonia requires an understanding of trademark law and the nuances involved. Their misuse in advertising can lead to legal complications. We partner with our clients to ensure compliance with local laws and, when necessary, provide assistance to defend our clients’ rights.

We help our clients to conduct IP due diligence and audits in Estonia. In particular, we can identify and assess existing or potential issues relating to the intellectual property which clients find to be extremely useful in accurately valuing the deal.
