To protect a sign on the market, a registered trademark is typically required.<\/p>\n<h2>2) What is a trademark and what can I protect?<\/h2>\n<p>A trademark is a right that protects a sign on the market (e.g. brand name, logo, product\/service name). Depending on your strategy, you can protect a word mark (name), figurative mark (logo), or a combination.<\/p>\n<h2>3) How much can I save with EU SME Fund vouchers?<\/h2>\n<p>Through the SME Fund (EUIPO), it is possible to receive reimbursement of part of the fees, often up to 75% (depending on the call and rules). The correct sequence of steps is key (voucher before application).<\/p>\n<h2>4) Can I participate online if I am not in Rijeka?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. The workshop takes place in Rijeka, with an option to join online from any location.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Do I need legal knowledge to attend the workshop?<\/h2>\n<p>No. The workshop is designed for entrepreneurs without a legal background and guides you through the process in a clear and practical way. After the workshop, IP specialists are available for any additional questions.<\/p>\n<h2>6) What should I prepare before attending (or joining online)?<\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended to have your brand name (and\/or logo) or the name of a product you plan to launch or have already launched, an idea of the products\/services it will cover, and a laptop.<br \/>\nIf you plan to use the SME Fund, it is useful to prepare basic documentation according to the instructions you will receive after registering.<\/p>\n<h2>7) Will we actually go through the application step-by-step?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. The workshop is practical: we work through public databases and a full \u201cwalkthrough\u201d of the application process (DZIV or EUIPO), with a focus on common mistakes and critical points.<\/p>\n<h2>8) How often are workshops held and how many participants are in a group?<\/h2>\n<p>Workshops are organised once a year or on demand, in groups of up to 10 participants to ensure a personalised approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a brand is expensive.
