In Estonia, the rules governing the filing of trademarks are set out in the Trademark Act, which was passed on 1 October 1992, and most recently amended on 1 January 2012. With respect to Estonia, the only legal protection for a trademark is afforded by the formal registration of the trademark.
Key Features
Registration of an Estonian Trademark involves filing an application with the Patent Office by means of a local agent. This can be done by means of a non-legalised power of attorney, which does not need to be registered beforehand in the country of origin. In Estonia, a trademark will be valid for 10 years from the day of registration and can be subsequently renewed for ten-year periods. If a trademark has not been used continuously for five years from the time registered, then it may be cancelled if not used for a consecutive period of five years.
