To answer this question first it should be checked if your company has the Community Trade Mark (CTM). If so, you do not have to register your trade mark in Poland. The CTM has a unitary character and is valid in the European Union as a whole. The application and the ensuing registration extend automatically to all the 27 individual member states of the European Union. It is not possible to limit the geographic scope of protection to certain member country.

If your company does not have the CTM, it is possible to register a trade mark in The Patent Office of the Republic of Poland (www.uprp.pl). In that case you should follow the registration procedures which involves: Polish Patent Office databases, completing an application form (Polish version only!), indicating the respective class/classes of goods according to the International Classification of Goods and Services (Nice Classification) and paying an application fee.

In case you need advice or consultation, you may contact a patent attorney. After the positive registration your trade mark will be protected in Poland. Of course it is entirely up to the strategy of the your company whether you want to rely only on national trade mark rights or on the CTM protection.
