您的商标之旅

In Switzerland, a trademark is a legally recognized sign, symbol, word, or combination that distinguishes a company's goods or services from others.

Governed by the Trade Marks Act 1995, a registered trademark grants you exclusive rights to prevent others from using similar identifiers that may cause consumer confusion.

With Brealant by Your Side

Trademark registration in Switzerland provides significant advantages for your business in securing your brand identity.

Once registered, you, as the trademark owner, have exclusive rights concerning specific goods or services across the country.

This legal protection prevents competitors from using or imitating the trademark, helping build consumer trust and recognition.

什么商标 保护

A registered trademark in Switzerland protects various elements that identify and differentiate a brand.

The protection extends to:

字

Unique brand names, slogans, and taglines.

标志

Distinctive graphical elements representing the brand.

颜色

Unique color combinations closely associated with the brand.

声音和气味

Distinct sounds (like jingles) and scents uniquely related to the brand.

By partnering with IP experts in Switzerland, you can ensure your brand is safeguarded from infringement, maintain its integrity, and prevent customer confusion or loss of trust due to imitation.

局限性

哪些东西不能注册商标

Brazil

Certain elements cannot be trademarked under Switzerland law, including:

通用术语

Common words or phrases that describe the product (e.g., "bread" for a bakery).

描述性词语

Words that simply describe characteristics, quality, or location of goods (e.g., "fresh" or "Switzerland").

冒犯性或诽谤性内容

Marks that contain offensive language or imagery.

误导性术语

Words that could mislead consumers about the nature or quality of the goods or services.

常见姓氏

A surname in common use unless proven to have become distinctly associated with a specific brand.

The Trade Marks Office evaluates applications to ensure that these non-registrable elements are not part of the proposed trademark.

商标注册时间表 在

Brazil

The registration process for a trademark in Switzerland typically involves:

  • 申请提交

    Opposition: 3 months from publication.

  • 考试

    Relative grounds not examined ex officio; opposition by earlier mark owners; multilingual practice (DE/FR/IT).

  • 接受并发表

    Clean, unopposed cases commonly register within ~6–12 months (jurisdiction‑specific).

  • 登记

    If no opposition arises, the trademark is officially registered, with the certificate issued shortly after the opposition period concludes.

Official fees are class‑based and subject to change; we confirm current tariffs before filing.
