General

My business is registered at QKB. Do I also need a trademark?

Yes — they are two different registrations. Registering at QKB (in Kosovo, at ARBK) creates the business and its name. A trademark is obtained by registration at the trademark office — DPPI in Albania or KIPA in Kosovo — for the goods and services of the classes you choose, and gives you the exclusive right to the sign.

The name check in the application form and the monitoring also compare your mark with the names of registered companies.
