Frequently Asked Questions

How can a trademark be protected in Romania?

A trademark can be protected through registration with the Romanian trademark authority. Before filing, it is usually advisable to assess availability, identify the relevant goods and services and consider whether national or broader EU protection is more appropriate.

A Romanian registration provides protection within Romania, while an EU trademark may provide protection across all European Union member states. The ideal option depends on the markets in which the business operates and the risks identified during clearance.

Software and source code may benefit from copyright protection, while contracts, confidentiality measures and access controls can also play an important role. Clear documentation is particularly important where development involves employees, contractors or external suppliers.

Ownership depends on the type of intellectual property and the applicable contractual arrangements. Employment, consultancy and development agreements should address ownership and transfer rights clearly to reduce uncertainty.

An IP due diligence review examines ownership, registrations, licences, contractual restrictions and potential disputes. 

The available response depends on the nature of the right, the evidence and the urgency of the situation. Possible steps can include formal notices, negotiations, urgent measures, court proceedings or an agreed settlement.
