e-Filing for Industrial Property
Protection of industrial property rights is achieved according to the territorial principle, i.e., protection is valid only in the territory of the country in which the right is granted. Protection in the territory of the Republic of Croatia is achieved by filing an appropriate application with the Office, while protection in the territory of other countries can be achieved in one of the following ways: by filing a separate application with the competent office of each country in whose territory protection is sought, by filing an application for protection through a regional protection system (e.g. the European Union trademark system, European patent) or by filing an application through an international protection system (e.g. the Madrid System for the International Registration of Trademarks, the Patent Cooperation Treaty – PCT.
An application for industrial property protection can also be filed electronically (online) using appropriate internet applications and platforms, which, in addition to an efficient application procedure, also allows for a reduction in the costs of the procedure.
