Recently, the Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property has opened access to the trademark registry of Ukraine . It is worth noting that the search occurs only on already registered marks / marks and does not include submitted applications. The database of trademarks of Ukraine currently has more than 300,000 entries.
Now, at the stage of developing your own TM, you will be able independently and without effort to check the trademark , in real time, directly on our website.
Advantages of an open trademark registry:
1. Free and quick search of the brand;
2. The ability at the time of development of the brand to check its innovation in the registry;
3. Openness of the system;
4. Search for various variations of the brand or mark;
More on each item:
Having a number of variants of the name, you can check the TM in the registry and do not spend efforts to work out the already registered designations. After conducting a search, you will receive information from the register of trademarks about which signs are already registered, so you can make corrections to the name you have invented.
Now you do not need to pay extra for the search, you can independently conduct a trademark verification, without the help of patent attorneys. It is important to understand that such a free search will show only registered brands. You will not be able to see the submitted applications. For this you need to conduct a full search.
The world does not stand still, and we are pleased that state-owned enterprises are also trying to keep up with the times, and are striving to improve service.
When you check the trademark online in the registry, you will see not only the brand you specified, but its various options. For example, entering into the base "Kiev", you will also see a TM, for example, "My Kiev".
Cons base of trademarks of Ukraine:

2. Technical faults in the base.
3. Information only in Ukraine, the base does not include stamps / marks in other countries.
You can check the trademark in the registry using this form:
As we wrote above, the search is conducted only by registered marks and signs. This means that you will not be able to get information on the submitted applications. The stage of consideration of applications takes from 8 to 23 months, respectively, we will not see these applications. There is a full search for this, but it will not work to conduct it without the help of a patent attorney.
Sometimes the system fails and checks fail. Most likely, these are temporary difficulties associated with setting up the base. It is worth noting that every day the frequency of such interruptions is less and less - it inspires hope.
The database of registered trademarks in Ukraine has records about marks that were registered in this country. Of course, you can use the world trademark database to understand more complete information, but it would be convenient to do it online on one site.
