National Trademark – create a file in Continux

Geändert am Fr, 20 Feb um 3:18 NACHMITTAGS

Creating a national trademark follows the same basic principle as described in the article „Creating a new file in Continux“. This article supplements the general steps with the specifics relevant to a national trademark file.

Create new file „National Trademark“

1. In the left main menu, select the area „Files“ → „Trademarks“.

2. Click on the green button „New“.

3. Select „National Trademark“ from the list of file types.

4. The input mask „National Trademark“ opens.
5. First enter the internal file number (mandatory field).
6. If already known, it is recommended to also select the country of the trademark application, although it is not a mandatory field.
7. Click on „Save“ to create the new trademark file.

Important notice

After the first save, the file number can be changed only once. If the option „Yes, edit“ is not used, the file number cannot be edited later.

Typos and no edit option? Delete file.

Mandatory field: File number

An internal file number must be assigned that meets the requirements (letters, numbers, underscores only, no spaces).
Example: 2026_Example_Trademark.
The file number is freely selectable and does not have to match the official file number of the trademark application.

Further fields of the national trademark

The fields are arranged according to the trademark procedure process – from application (application date, application number, trademark designation) via goods and services list, search and examination to registration, renewal and ongoing trademark management. For the initial creation, it is sufficient to fill in the mandatory fields; further details such as registration data or oppositions can be added at a later time.
