Extension of registration

Once a year, but not later than on 31 March, the registry data are checked and the new comparison imprints of every sponsor’s mark in use are added to the material collection of the Register. The extension of registration is free of charge.

For the extension of registration, the following must be submitted:

• An application for the extension of the registration of a sponsor’s mark or an additional sponsor’s mark
• The comparison imprints of the sponsor’s mark

The documents must be submitted to the Register in writing on paper or electronically with a digital signature. The design of the submitted sponsor’s mark must be clearly distinguishable from other sponsor’s marks entered in the Register. For this purpose, the draft of a sponsor’s mark must be approved by an authorised employee of the Estonian Assay Office.

The sample imprints of a sponsor’s mark are submitted to the Register on a brass metal plate of 25×50 mm, onto which the name of the company is engraved and the sponsor’s mark is affixed either with a laser and/or mechanically at three impact strengths: strong, medium and weak. The Assay Office provides assistance in preparing a standard imprint plate, if necessary.

Refusal from registration, the amendment of the data entered in the Register and the deletion and archival of registry data are regulated under  “Establishment of State Register of Sponsor’s Marks and Statutes of Maintenance of Register”.
