How to register your trademark in Switzerland

1. Carry out a search.

To ensure that your trademark does not infringe the right of others or earlier trademark, to find out whether your trademark is already being used or has been registered as a company or domain name by someone else, carry out a search before applying to register is important. You can do this search by yourself or use professional searches.

2. Apply via E-Trademark.

The application can be filed online, using the electronic application system e-trademark, or we can also apply to register the trademark with the form from The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI), and send it by post, fax or email.

When registering a trademark, we must indicate the goods and services in The International Classification of Goods and Services established by the Nice Agreement (known as “Nice Classification”), groups all goods and services into a total of 45 classes. The list of goods and services cannot be extended once the trade mark has been registered, so make sure that you specify the goods and/or services as precisely as possible in your application.
