Trademark Registration in Azerbaijan

February 20, 2024

Trademark Registration in Azerbaijan is the process of obtaining state recognition for marks or combinations of marks that distinguish an entrepreneur’s goods or services from those of others. For a mark to be registered, it must be graphically represented and unique, ensuring it serves as a distinct identifier in the marketplace.

We hope this blog post will be informative for those planning to register a trademark in Azerbaijan. Furthermore, if you require consulting and legal services regarding the process of trademark registration in Azerbaijan, remember that you can apply for DLB Consulting’s services. We are pleased to offer the services of our IP Lawyers (Patent Attorneys).

Trademark Registration Process in Azerbaijan

According to the legislation, the Intellectual Property Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan registers the trademarks in the country. Resident companies and individuals have the right to apply for trademark registration either directly or via patent attorneys. However, non-resident companies and individuals must apply for the trademark registration only through patent attorneys.

Required Documents for Trademark Registration

To register a trademark in Azerbaijan, you must prepare, collect and submit the following documents:

  • Application for a claim;
  • Power of Attorney (if the Patent Attorney submits the application, and if the applicant is non-resident, the Power of Attorney must be duly legalized);
  • Founding documents of the legal entity applying for trademark registration (for non-residents, founding documents should be duly legalized);
  • If necessary, a document confirming the originality of the trademark in accordance with Article 10 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Trademarks and Geographical Indications.

For your information, applicants must submit the application for claiming the registration of a trademark and geographical indication in the Azerbaijani language.

Additionally, when applying for trademark registration in Azerbaijan, you must include the following information in the application for a claim:

  • Applicant Details;
  • Trademark Representation;
  • Goods or Services Classification;
  • Color Specification;
  • Transliteration and Translation.

Procedure for Trademark Registration in Azerbaijan

You must follow these practical steps when registering a trademark in Azerbaijan:

  • Submission of Claim Document:

    Firstly, you need to collect, prepare, and submit the necessary documents to the Intellectual Property Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan. It’s worth noting that you can submit a claim document for trademark registration either online or offline. In Azerbaijan, the processing time for trademark registration applications typically ranges from four to eight months on average.

  • Preliminary Examination of Claim Documents:

    The preliminary examination of the claim documents for the trademark or geographical indication is conducted within one month from the date of receiving the claim documents.

  • Trademark Examination:

    The examination of the trademark is conducted within three to six months after the completion of the initial examination. Following the examination results, an official decision is made to either register or reject the registration of a trademark or geographical indication.

  • Registration:

    Once your trademark is registered, you will receive a Certificate of Registration. A Certificate of Registration is an official document confirming your exclusive rights to the relevant trademark.

The Importance of Trademark Registration

A registered trademark grants its owner exclusive rights of control and the authority to prevent unauthorized usage. This is necessary for any entrepreneur in terms of protecting his brand and rights to his goods.  This is also an important nuance in terms of the confidence of your customers in your business product and services.
