- Examination of the application
The Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property (Ukrpatent) is the competent authority for examination.
Patent for Invention in Ukraine & Utility Model
In Ukraine, you can obtain protection for both a patent for invention and a utility model patent.
Key advantages of a utility model:
- No substantive examination required
- Fast registration: 6–8 months
- Lower cost compared to invention patents
- Equivalent scope of legal protection
Patent Requirements in Ukraine
To obtain a patent for invention in Ukraine, the invention must meet the following criteria:
- Novelty: not disclosed anywhere in the world before the filing date
- Inventive step: not obvious to a skilled person
- Industrial applicability: capable of practical use
Patent Filing in Ukraine
Foreign applicants must be represented by a Ukrainian patent attorney. We provide full legal support for patent registration in Ukraine:

If protection is required only in Ukraine or selected CIS countries, a utility model patent is often the fastest and most cost-effective option.

.UA Domain Registration in Ukraine
Why Domain Partner with Us?
- 15+ years of expertise in .UA domain name registration.
- Accredited Registrar Status: We are an Official Registrar of Ukrainian domain names, ensuring you receive direct, first-hand service.
- Proven Track Record: Our portfolio includes high-value domains such as i.ua, m.ua, y.ua, for which we successfully registered both the domain names and the corresponding trademarks ("i", "m", "y").
- Comprehensive Legal Support: Full-cycle representation from trademark filing to final .UA domain activation.
Eligibility for .UA Domain Names
According to the Rules of the .UA domain, registration is exclusively available to owners of trademarks valid in Ukraine. This includes:
- Trademarks registered via the National procedure.
- International trademarks designating Ukraine under the Madrid System.
Trademark and Domain Identity Rules
To secure a .UA domain, you must hold a valid trademark certificate where the textual component is identical to the desired domain label.
For instance, a trademark for "ABC Company" permits the registration of "abc-company.ua" or "abccompany.ua," but does not grant rights to "abc.ua" or "company.ua." Permissible characters include Latin letters, Arabic numerals, and hyphens.
! .UA domain registration is impossible without a registered trademark in Ukraine.
Registering a trademark and a domain simultaneously is a strategic and cost-effective approach, preventing future inflated costs on the secondary market or dealings with cybersquatters.
We manage the entire workflow: from initial trademark filing to securing your .UA web address.
