A logo without trademark protection is just a graphic. We design distinctive logos AND handle the full OSIM trademark filing process – availability search, class selection, documentation, submission. End-to-end. Few agencies in Romania do this.
Most businesses in Romania use logos that are legally undefended. They've invested in design but not in protection. Then a competitor uses something similar, or a copycat trademarks it first – and they discover the hard way that logos aren't protected by default. Romanian and EU law require active registration to enforce.
At 82 Design, we bundle logo design + OSIM trademark filing into one specialty service. Distinctive logo design with iterations until we land it. Then – uncommon for design agencies – we handle the legal track: availability search in OSIM and EUIPO databases, Nice classification selection, application documentation, OSIM submission, and tracking through opposition periods. Your brand becomes legally yours.
3 distinctive concepts in different visual directions. Refinement rounds with feedback. Final logo in primary, secondary, and monochrome variants. SVG, AI, EPS, PNG, PDF – all formats delivered.
Before filing, we search OSIM, EUIPO, and WIPO databases for similar marks. Verbal, figurative, and combined mark searches. Plus domain availability check. Honest report: file or rebrand?
The Nice Classification has 45 classes. Pick wrong = unprotected business. We help you choose the right classes for your goods/services – essential for proper protection without overpaying for unnecessary classes.
Complete OSIM application: applicant data, mark representation, classes, products and services description. Filed online via OSIM e-Mărci portal. You receive the official receipt and tracking number.
Trademark registration takes 6-8 months. We track examination phases, respond to OSIM clarifications if needed, monitor the 2-month opposition period, and confirm registration when granted. You're informed at every step.
Need protection beyond Romania? We can also handle EUIPO filing (EU-wide trademark, all 27 member states) or international filing via WIPO Madrid Protocol. Add-on service if needed.
We discuss your business, audience, competitors, and what kind of mark you need (verbal/wordmark, figurative/symbol, combined). We also discuss the Nice classes you'll need based on your actual products and services – not what's trendy.
3 distinct logo concepts, each in a different direction. We present them with rationale: why each works, how each performs in different contexts. You pick a direction, we refine through 2-3 iterations until landed.
With the final logo, we run availability searches in OSIM, EUIPO, WIPO Global Brand Database, and domain registries. Identical and similar marks. Verbal, figurative, and combined searches. Honest report: green light, yellow light (proceed with caution), or red light (rebrand recommended).
Complete the OSIM application: representation of the mark, list of goods and services per Nice class, applicant details, signed power of attorney if needed. Submitted via OSIM e-Mărci portal. Official OSIM fee paid (you cover this; we coordinate). Receipt and tracking number issued.
OSIM examination (3-4 months), publication in BOPI (Buletinul Oficial al Proprietății Industriale), 2-month opposition period, registration certificate issued. We monitor every phase, respond to OSIM clarifications if any, alert you to oppositions if filed. Your registration certificate arrives by post – we make sure it does.
Most businesses pay one agency for design and a separate IP lawyer for filing. We handle both. One brief, one team, one invoice. The designer talks to the filing person – they're at the same table.
OSIM has its own quirks – mandatory documents in Romanian, specific class subdivisions, idiosyncrasies in the e-Mărci portal. We know the local process inside out, not just the textbook version.
If the availability search shows your mark is too risky, we tell you – and propose a rebrand. We make money from filing; not filing means we make less. We do it anyway because filing a doomed mark just costs you money and time. Honesty over revenue.
Trademark filing isn't 'submit and forget'. Examination questions, opposition windows, certificate retrieval – all need attention over 6-8 months. We track everything and update you. No client of ours has lost a filing because of a missed deadline.
Logo design + filing service. OSIM official fees billed separately at cost.
