Questions about Iran trademarks, patents and designs
Straight answers on searches, costs and filing in Iran from abroad.
Can I file a trademark in Iran if my company is based abroad?
Yes. Applicants from outside Iran can protect their marks in Iran. Filings are made in Persian and are normally handled through a local representative, which is the role we take on for you.
Is the instant trademark check the same as a register search?
No. The instant check looks at your mark itself: which classes it needs and whether its wording could draw a distinctiveness objection. Finding earlier conflicting marks needs a comprehensive search of the register, which our attorneys carry out.
How accurate is the cost calculator?
It applies our fee schedule to the details you enter, so it gives a realistic budget for a standard filing. Your written quote confirms the final figures once we have seen the full details of the case.
Which currency are the estimates in?
Estimates are shown in euros (EUR). Ask us if you would like the formal quote in another currency.
What is the online search discount?
If you run an instant check and then file with us, we reduce our professional fees for the filing. The calculator shows the discount as its own line so you can see exactly what it saves.
Why do I still need a comprehensive search?
Because the most common reason an application fails is an earlier, similar mark owned by someone else. Only a search of the register, interpreted by an attorney, can find those.
Does the check work for Persian-script marks?
The instant check reads Latin and Persian characters, but its word lists are in English. A comprehensive search covers Persian-script versions and transliterations of your mark.
Which classification does Iran use for trademarks?
Trademark goods and services are classified using the Nice Classification, which has 45 classes. Our instant check suggests classes based on your description.
Do I need to visit Iran?
No. We handle the filing for you. Documents such as a power of attorney can usually be signed where you are; we tell you what is needed for your case.
Can you challenge a mark that conflicts with mine?
Yes. We handle oppositions against pending applications and actions to cancel conflicting registrations. Use the challenge option after a search, or contact us directly.
How do I receive the formal quote?
Use the quote button in any calculator. Your email opens with the full breakdown already written in; add your name and company and send it to us.
Do you handle patents and designs as well?
Yes. Use the patent and design calculators for an estimate, and the search tool's patent and design tabs to request a search.
