• International Trademarks
• EU Trademark
• Application Forms

When applying conventionally please use form MA 1 and be sure to note carefully the completion assistance and checklist enclosed therewith. This enables you the more easily to fulfill formal requirements.

A trademark application must comprise:

• Name and address of the applicant
• The signature of the applicant
• The trademark to be protected
• If necessary, the required trademark illustrations
• A list of goods and services for which the trademark is intended to be used and hence protected in trade

Conventional applications may be submitted in the following manner:

• Submittal at the Austrian Patent Office’s entry point
• Posting the application via the Austrian Patent Office’s entry box
• By mail
• Per telefax +43 (0)1 534 24 535 (please do not submit colored trademarks per telefax!)

Applying by means of E-mail is not permissible.

As it is likely that you will thus fulfill formal requirements more easily it is in your own interest to use form MA 572 (in German) for your application and to carefully mind the completion assistance including the checklist enclosed with said form. We will transfer the MA 572 indications to the appropriate WIPO form (MM 2).

Working language within the framework of the MMA and the MMP as well as at the Austrian Patent Office is optionally English or French (applications in Spanish are not permissible). The product/service list of the application must be drawn up in the working language chosen, i.e. English or French when using form MA 572 which is in German. The translation necessary for this is your burden which however the following links/databanks may lighten:

• www.patentamt.at/trademarkprotection/classificationnice (translation of the class headings of the Nice Classification of Goods and Services)
• webaccess.wipo.int/mgs (databank of the WIPO)
• http://tmclass.tmdn.org (the EUIPO’s databank)

• Submittal at the Austrian Patent Office’s entry point
• Posting the application via the Austrian Patent Office’s entry box
• By mail
• Per telefax +43 (0)1 534 24 535

Applying per E-mail is not permissible.
