Trademark registration at the Russian Patent Office is now carried out online from any city in the Russian Federation. In order to file an application, you must fill out the minimum information about the future right holder: the name of your company, legal address and Principal State Registration Number, as well as the designation for registration.
The word “designation” here can mean a logo, tag line, or even the name of the company. The main thing is that registration of a trademark allows to avoid the situation when you products and corporate identity may be at risk of being copied by competitors, and protects them from theft and unfair use.
Despite the fact that state examination of a trademark and obtaining a certificate lasts for more than a year, you will have received temporary protection for your trademark on the day of application submission.
After that no competitor will be able to apply for the registration of a similar or the same trademark.
In other words, a third party may file a similar application, but the registration of the described trademark in it will be refused, because your application will have an earlier priority.
