- Official trademark search (standard/urgent) to be conducted with the UA PTO.
The search results are exhaustive and provide information on Ukrainian trademark applications, Ukrainian trademark registrations (valid and not valid), International registrations valid in Ukraine. The time frame: standard – 9 working days; urgent – 5 working days.
