When applying for trademark registration in Iceland, the process is handled through the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office, Hugverkastofa (www.hugverk.is). Although the application system is accessible to the public, navigating the legal and technical requirements can be challenging. In certain cases, Hugverkastofa requires foreign individuals or companies to appoint a local representative or agent in Iceland to manage the application on their behalf. This ensures proper communication with the authority and compliance with Icelandic regulations.
Our legal team assists clients throughout the entire registration process. We help prepare and submit trademark applications, draft clear and accurate descriptions of goods and services, and advise on the best strategy to secure strong and effective protection for your brand. For foreign applicants, we can also act as the required local representative, ensuring smooth and efficient communication with Hugverkastofa.
In addition to filing applications, we provide support in disputes, including oppositions and appeals. If your application is challenged or refused, we can prepare legal arguments, respond to office actions, and represent you in appeal proceedings. We also assist clients in filing oppositions against conflicting applications to safeguard their rights.
Whether you are establishing a new brand or defending an existing one, professional legal support can significantly improve the outcome.
Contact us to ensure that your trademark is properly protected and that your interests are represented throughout the process.
