At present, the Polish Intellectual Property Office adopts the Nice Classification 11th edition for the description of goods and services, and can accept applications for multiple categories in one form. The elements that can be registered as trademarks in Poland include: text, letters, numbers, graphics, slogans, colors, color combinations, three-dimensional shapes, sounds, etc.

Natural or legal persons who do not have a domicile, main place of business, or a genuine and valid business enterprise in Poland must entrust a specialized agent in that country to handle the matter. The basic materials required for trademark application are:
1. Trademark design;
2. Category and specific product items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4. Power of attorney;
5.If priority is declared, proof of priority must be provided.

The main process for applying for registration of a Polish trademark is: application announcement - examination - registration - registration announcement. The application will be accepted within about 2 weeks after submission. Three months after the application is submitted, the trademark application shall be published. During the publication period, anyone may raise objections to the trademark application. After the announcement is completed, the examiner will conduct a formal and substantive examination of the application. Formal review mainly examines whether the application requirements and classification information comply with regulations; The substantive examination includes the examination of the distinctiveness of the trademark and whether it violates the prohibition and prohibition clauses. If the examination fails, a rejection notice will be issued and the applicant will be required to respond within the time limit specified in the rejection notice. If the substantive examination passes, a registration certificate will be issued and a registration announcement will be made.

The opposition period is three months from the date of announcement, and anyone can raise an objection to the registration of the trademark. The main reasons for raising an objection are:
1. Conflict with prior trademarks, such as owning a prior registered trademark;
2. The trademark lacks distinctiveness;
3. The trademark has adverse effects;
4. Malicious registration;
5. Conflict with other prior rights, such as trade name rights, design rights, copyrights, personal names, etc.

If there is no objection or objection is not established during the registration announcement period, the trademark is officially registered successfully. In a smooth situation, trademark registration in Poland takes about 2 years; If things don't go smoothly and there are rejections or objections, the time will be greatly extended.
