Registration of a trademark for entrepreneurs and organizations in Belarus
In the Republic of Belarus, any individual and legal entity is entitled to register a symbol as a trademark: graphic image, verbal, digital color combinations, volumetric elements, slogans that will distinguish the offered goods and services from similar ones on the market.
Registration of a trademark is possible only at the State Institution “National Center for Intellectual Property”.
There are two procedures for granting trademark protection:
- A trademark is registered in accordance with Belarusian law;
- A trademark is registered in accordance with international treaties of the Republic of Belarus.
International Trademark Registration in Belarus
The international registration of a trademark in Belarus can be performed by the State Institution “NCIS” only if the TK has passed the national registration. International registration of TK is necessary when the applicant plans to enter the markets of foreign countries. When carrying out activities within Belarus, a national registration is sufficient.
Certificate and Registration period
A certificate of registration of a trademark is issued within a month from the date of registration in the State Register of Trademarks and Service Marks of the Republic of Belarus. A trademark is registered for a period of 10 years. If it is necessary to extend the term for registration of a trademark, the application must be submitted within the last year of the ToR. The registration period may be extended by 10 years. The number of such extensions is not limited by law.

How to Protect Your Trademark Internationally
International trademark protection beyond the EAEU requires registering your trademark in each country where you plan to operate. There are three main paths for international registration: through the simplified EAEU system, via the WIPO Madrid System for EU countries, or directly in individual countries. Before pursuing international registration, you must first secure your trademark in your home country. The process requires working with licensed patent attorneys and considering country-specific regulations, including varying government fees and application review periods. Professional guidance from local patent attorneys is crucial for navigating different legal systems and ensuring successful registration.
