Romanian PTO Limits Turn-Around for Trademark Searches

As of June 1, 2009, the Romanian Patent and Trademark Office no longer receives orders for the release of trademark searches in 25 working days.

All other terms for the issuing of trademark searches remain in force. The results of most trademark searches in Romania are released by the PTO after two, seven or 15 working days.

For certain types of trademark searches (e.g. identical, availability), urgent requests can be filed. In those cases, the Romanian PTO releases results either on the same day, or after one working day.
