The deadline for filing an opposition is 3 months from the publication of the application in the official bulletin of the Patentu Valde (Latvijas Vēstnesis).
In Latvia, you can register word marks, figurative marks, combined marks, sound marks, color marks, three-dimensional marks, motion marks, and holograms, provided they are distinctive and can be clearly represented.
The certificate is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years.
The owner has the exclusive right to use the mark commercially in Latvia, prohibit others from using similar marks, and transfer or license the trademark rights.
