TRADEMARKS
We have gained good experience in obtaining trademark registrations in the countries of the former USSR, including Belarus, Russia, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and also in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
As the Baltic States, such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have recently joined the European Union, we can also submit Community trademark applications at the OHIM through our Lithuanian branch in EPAG Ltd.
If you wish to know an estimate cost of obtaining registration of your trademarks in the above - mentioned countries, you can make an inquiry by registering on our site www.e-pag.com and sending us a preliminary information about your application (number of classes and some particulars, if any)

As we have our own databases of the trademarks registered in Belarus, and also of the international trademarks extended to our country, so we can conduct identity and similarity searches prior to filing new trademark applications and provide our opinion together with an advice of guidance on registerability of marks.
