Experts consider  the country to have good conditions for investing and doing business by foreign companies. There is an opportunity to acquire companies by non-residents of the country.

Favorable conditions for those wishing to develop their own trademark also attract to Sweden.

If you are interested in registration of trademarks in Sweden, then you have made the right choice, as the country participates in several international agreements, including Madrid agreement, and it is also member of the European Union.

In addition, it is possible to submit application for trademark in Sweden according to the Madrid system with subsequent expansion to the European Union. At the same time, there is the national system in the state according to which registration of trademarks is carried out in the territory of Sweden.

In accordance with the national registration the application is sent directly to the Patent Office of Sweden. However, this is advantageous and justified only when the owner of the trademark is not going to expand the scope of operation of the trademark.

Otherwise, he will need to prepare applications for each state separately, taking into account all the formalities in each particular situation. It is possible to avoid such difficulties in case of acting in accordance with the International Protocols.

However, it is difficult to determine the correct course of action by yourself, because each individual application needs particular approach. Only experienced specialists, and such are the employees of our law firm, can assess the features of trademarks.
