How much does it cost to register a trademark in Ukraine? – TM registration price

A trademark is a business card of goods or services, and its protection allows you to stand out in the market and build a positive image. The stages of registration consist of the preparation and submission of an application, the passing of a formal and qualification examination, and the final stage - the issuance of a registration certificate.

The cost of trademark registration in Ukraine may vary and depends on the following factors:

• Number of classes of goods and services: The registration fee is calculated separately for each class of goods or services for which you want to protect your mark. The more classes, the higher the total cost. The cost of one class is UAH 4,000 when applying, and UAH 600 when it is issued.
• Type of submission: Electronic submission of an application may be somewhat cheaper than a paper one.
• Color designation: a color image is more expensive in fees than black and white.
• Number of owners: when submitting an application where there are several TM owners, the fees will also be 30% higher.
• Type of application: You can submit a regular or expedited application. Expedited application is more expensive. (Attention! During martial law, it is not possible to submit expedited applications)

In addition, foreigners or foreign companies also have an increased cost of application fees and must be represented by a patent attorney in a mandatory manner, which also increases the price of the TM registration process in Ukraine.

Can the registration price increase during the registration process?

In some cases, the cost of registration may increase during the registration process:

• Correction of errors or additional submissions: If errors are discovered during the review of the application or changes need to be made to the application, this will result in additional costs for corrections and submission of additional documents.
• The presence of similar registered trademarks: if the presence of identical trademarks was not investigated before filing, then a preliminary refusal to register a trademark may be obtained at the stage of the qualification examination. Regarding such a refusal, it is necessary to submit arguments in favor of the registration of the mark with the necessary evidence, which can take time, and it is also an additional expense for specialists.
• The need to appeal the refusal of registration: in the case of the presence of the same brands, errors in the person of the applicant, lack of qualified communication with the patent office, it is sometimes necessary to appeal their decision through the appeals chamber or court, which significantly increases the cost of trademark registration.

You should be prepared for the possibility of additional costs in the process of registering a trademark in Ukraine, especially if you did not involve a lawyer at the stage of preparation and application, since most mistakes can be corrected at this stage.
