Trademark search in Ukraine

Every year the Ukrainian Intellectual Property Office receives more than 70,000 new trademark applications. In total, there are more than 210,000 active trademark registrations in Ukraine.

15-20% of applications are refused in registration.

In order not to get into this list and not waste time and money, it is necessary to conduct high-quality preliminary searches before the application is submitted.

In Ukraine, it is possible to register verbal, image, and combined trademarks (containing both text and an image). Accordingly, the search should include all elements of the future application. It is worth remembering that the verbal part always remains predominant.

How to search for trademarks in Ukraine

Pocket IP provides a free tool for conducting searches in Ukraine.

The search results contain both data from the national database and the WIPO database with international trademarks that are valid on the territory of Ukraine.

You can create your own profile in the Pocket IP system or use the quick search function without creating a profile in the service.

The search can be carried out by:

• Keyword
• Application number
• TM registration number
• TM owner name
• Applicant's name

Search results can be filtered and sorted by all parameters in the table.

For further tracking of a trademark, it must be added to the My objects list.

Search results analysis
