Trademark in Switzerland
An EU Trade Mark doesn’t protect you in Switzerland, so a separate Swiss registration is required. Applications are only in French, German, or Italian, so expert help ensures a smooth process and proper protection for your brand.
Expert Swiss Trademark Support
We help you register your trademark with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property to protect your brand across Switzerland.
Timeframes
Under standard conditions, registration typically takes around 4 to 6 months. Expedited examination is available to reduce this to about 2 months.

We guide you through each phase from preliminary search and application drafting to examination and final registration.

Questions?
How long is a Swiss trade mark valid for?
A Swiss trademark must be renewed every 10 years. If, however, the mark has not been used for five years, it can be challenged in front of the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property and thereby revoked. Any person is able to file such a claim before the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property.
What kind of marks can be registered in Switzerland?
According to Switzerland’s Trade Mark Protection Act, any signs can be used as a trademark, provided (1) that they can be represented graphically, and (2) that those signs are used to distinguish services or goods from other services or goods in the Swiss market. Colors, letters, numbers, words, images, slogans, and even 3D elements can be registered as trade marks.
