Italy Logo registration are
required register IP protection at Italian Patent and Logo Office (IPTO).
Italian Patent and Logo Office (IPTO) is the government body responsible for
registering IP protection.
Registrable Italy Logos
All signs (word, device or
shape) capable of being graphically represented and fulfilling the requirements
of novelty, distinctiveness and lawfulness are registrable Italy Logos.
Graphically represented sounds, color combinations or a particular shade of
color are also registrable.
Italy Logo Classification
The international classification
of goods and services (the International Nice Agreement) applies. Applications
may include more than one class of goods and/or services.
The procedure of Italy Logo Registration
Once the Italy Logo application
for registration has been filed, an application number and an Italy Logo application
date are obtained, and from that date the examination of the file starts, which
is articulated in different phases.
A first formal and technical
exam is conducted by the UIBM, which checks that the application meets the
formal requirements (articles 148 and 156 CPI) and the absence of the so-called
absolute impediments to the registration. For example, a mark that is contrary
to good behavior can be refused directly by the office, as well as an offensive
mark.
Instead, if the mark overcomes
this exam done by the office, then it is published in the Italy Official Logo
Gazette, which is public. From that moment anyone who considers himself damaged
by the Logo application since he thinks that that Logo is similar to his own
pre-existing Logo or because as such it violates his rights can file Opposition
to the registration with the UIBM within 3 months as from publication date.
If opposition is filed, ad
administrative procedure starts in the course of which the person who has
applied for the Logo will be able to defend himself in front of who filed
opposition against the Logo registration and at the end of this procedure a
decision will be issued that will be for the grant or the refusal of the Logo.
Instead, if no one files
opposition the Logo is granted. To the Logo a grant number and date will be
assigned and the holder will be able to obtain the relative certificate of
registration.
Italy Logo Duration and Renewals
Once the Italy Logo registration
is complete, the Logo protection is valid for 10 years start from the filing
date. An indefinite number of renewals is possible for subsequent 10-year
periods.
