Who it suits and prerequisites
For businesses using a brand, selling goods or developing e-commerce channels in Russia and assessing trademark protection.
Identify the applicant, mark and actual goods or services. Supply existing Chinese registrations, Russian use and any similarity concerns for assessment.
Scope and deliverables
| Module | What we do | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Search and scope | Coordinate similarity search and classification | Search feedback and protection-scope recommendation |
| Application preparation | Organise applicant, artwork, classes and authority documents | Approved application package |
| Examination follow-up | Coordinate filing, notices and results | Submission record, official notices and final result |
Optional: international-route assessment, specialist responses, changes and renewal; distinguish these from the basic search/application scope.
Documents and your participation
| Document | Requirements and purpose | When needed |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant records | Consistent name, address and legal status; individual/company requirements reviewed separately | Search and planning |
| Wording and artwork | Clear artwork and explanation of wording, colour and combinations | Before preparation |
| Goods and services | Actual activities rather than a broad industry name | Before classification approval |
| Existing rights and authority | Registrations, use and application history; signed authorisations as required | Before filing |
Process and responsibilities
| Stage | Our responsibility | Your participation | Completion milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Define protection | Review brand and business scope | Provide applicant and proposed protection | Agreed filing route |
| Search and classify | Coordinate search and class recommendations | Confirm goods/services and acceptable changes | Search feedback and scope approval |
| Prepare and submit | Organise documents and coordinate filing | Check mark, name and classes; sign documents | Submission record |
| Follow examination | Report notices, coordinate responses and result | Confirm responses in time | Result and maintenance guidance |
Timing and progress updates
- Separate stages for search/preparation, submission, authority examination and handover.
- Starting point: submission follows complete, client-approved documents; examination is measured from the relevant official stage.
- Dependencies include filing route, classes, earlier rights, corrections and examination objections; no fixed approval date is guaranteed.
- Updates at search results, submission, official notices and decision; explain response deadlines when action is needed.
Important conditions and boundaries
- Protection is territorial; a Chinese registration does not automatically protect a mark in Russia.
- Search reduces uncertainty but cannot guarantee approval, which is decided by the authority.
- Oppositions, appeals, litigation, transfers and renewals are separate unless agreed; registration does not guarantee marketplace brand approval.
Aftercare and ongoing support
Handover explains scope, validity and maintenance milestones; renewal and changes need separate agreement.
Changes in applicant details, mark or activities should be reviewed for record updates or new applications.
Evidence and delivery checks
Check applicant, artwork, classes, application number and official result. The responsible authority is Rospatent. A search opinion and the authority’s final examination result serve different purposes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need this if I have a Chinese trademark?
Assess whether valid Russian protection already exists and whether a national application or an international designation is appropriate.
Does a clear search guarantee registration?
No. Searches have limits and the authority still examines the application.
What if an examination notice arrives?
Assess its substance and deadline; routine follow-up and specialist responses are scoped in the plan.
