What is the procedure for applying for an Austrian trademark?
The Austrian Patent Office is the accepting department of the Austrian trademark application. The applicant will submit the prepared application documents to the Austrian Patent Office, which will review the registrability and compliance with the legal provisions of the trademark. During the review process, if there are problems with the trademark application documents, the Austrian Patent Office will notify the applicant, and the applicant will reply to the questions and submit reply opinions within 2 months after receiving the notice. The trademark that has passed the examination will be awarded the application date and application number, and will be published in the official announcement. During the announcement period, anyone can raise an objection to the trademark. A trademark without objection or without objection will be approved for registration. During this period, if the applicant has any objection to the decision of the Austrian Patent Office, he can appeal to the appeal department, up to the administrative court.
