Trademark Registration in Poland: Protect Your Brand Nationwide
Trademarks in Poland are administered by the Polish Patent Office (Urząd Patentowy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej - PPO). As a member of the European Union, protection is also available via the EU Trade Mark (EUTM). The PPO conducts a formal examination and a substantive examination on both absolute grounds and relative grounds.

Here is the step-by-step process followed for trademark registration in Poland.
Filing
The trademark application is filed with the Polish Patent Office (UPRP) online via PUEUP or in person.
Examination
UPRP performs a formal and substantive examination, checking distinctiveness and compliance with law. Additional information may be requested if issues arise.
Acceptance & Publication
If the application meets all requirements, UPRP publishes it in the Official Bulletin of the Polish Patent Office.
Opposition Period
Once published, third parties have 3 months from the publication date in the Bulletin to file an opposition based on earlier rights.
Registration
If no opposition is filed, or if any opposition is resolved in favor of the applicant, UPRP issues a Decision to Register and, after payment of the protection and publication fees, issues the Trademark Registration Certificate.
Validity & Renewal
A registered trademark in Poland is valid for 10 years from the filing date. It may be renewed indefinitely for further 10-year periods by paying renewal fees within 12 months before expiry, or within a 6-month grace period with a surcharge.
