Trademark Registration
There is a cool (well, at least for me) name associated with IT, which could be a great name for a company. Actually, for this it was invented, but the situation has changed, the creation of the company is postponed, so the question arose: how can you “stake out” this name? I really like it.
First, in the Internet era, of course, you need to register a domain. In the zone ru, I did it a week after the notion (by the way, I think that I had been drawing for a long time, I could have missed it). Com, net, org and others are secondary, and I don’t have the desire to pay for their renewal each year until the name is used.
A friend advised to register a trademark. Looking help, I tell. In the Russian legislation there is no concept of "trademark", but there is a concept of " trademark " equivalent to it (so that it is necessary to search in the "Consultant" for precisely it). Trademarks are registered by Rospatent , and are issued in certain classes of goods and services. Thus, registering a trademark for one class does not prohibit someone else from doing the same with your name in another class. For everything about everything, it will take 1-2 years for a normal one or 7 months for an accelerated registration, and every 10 years it will need to be renewed. In monetary terms, this is expressed as: verbal designation - 16,500 rubles. (1-2 years) or 25,500 rubles. (7 months); figurative designation - 18,000 rubles. (1-2 years) or 27,000 rubles. (7 months); combined designation - 19,500 rubles. (1-2 years) or 28,500 rubles. (7 months). In short, a lot for what may not be used for a long time and bring profit.
Maybe you know more ways, if not legal, but at least moral (like a domain) protecting the name from being removed?
