Kosovo Preparing Amendments to Patent and Trademark Laws

Kosovo has recently drafted amendments to its trademark and patent laws, which the Kosovo Parliament is expected to adopt this year.

The amendments aim to bring Kosovo’s IP legislation in line with European Union’s directives, as one of the requirements for EU integration, as well as create a better and safer environment for investments and the protection of IP rights.

The draft amendments are available in Albanian, Serbian and English at this web page. The public’s comments and opinions will be accepted until May 28 via this email address.

We will provide a detailed analysis of the amendments as soon as the final drafts of the laws amending and supplementing the trademark and patent laws become available.
