Trademark protection procedure in Croatia
Although the registration of a trademark for distinguishing marks used to mark products and/or services is not mandatory when placing products and/or services on the market, it is very useful to protect certain aspects of the product with some form of intellectual property. In this way, you reduce the possibility of (and inadvertent) violation of other people’s rights and get an effective tool for protecting your own rights.
The decision about the elements of your market identity that you want to protect with a trademark stems from the overall business strategy by which you individualize the product and make it recognizable anddifferent of the others.
Each sign that you want to protect with a trademark is registered with a separate application, an integral part of which is a list of products and/or services to which the sign refers, which must be compiled in accordance with the International Classification of Products and Services for the purposes of registration trademarks (so-called Nica classification).
