The new Finnish Trademarks Act entered into force on 1 May 2019. The objective is to get a clear and modern Act that enables a completely digital trademark process. In addition, the reform introduces a new type of administrative revocation and invalidation procedure for trademarks. The entry into force of the Act brought about the following changes:

1. New ways to present trademarks. The requirement for the graphic representability of a trademark has been removed. You must present your trademark in a manner that is clear, precise and understandable.
2. Applications for the registration and renewal of a trademark can only be filed using an online service. For a special reason, the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) may also accept paper applications. Trademark applications can also be filed in English.
3. The application must contain: the applicant’s details, a list of the individual goods and services included in the application, a description of the mark. The application fee must be paid before the application can be considered to have been filed to the PRH.
4. Specifying the classification of goods and services.
