| Support Service name | Information |
| Awareness | The OSIM is active in spreading awareness of the the whole system of intellectual property as widely as possible while also publicising details of its services. This information is primarily aimed at local business and commerce, but is also of value to the academic community or to the inventor. |
| Raising Awareness of IP | We aim to promote knowledge of and demand for intellectual property rights though our work with companies, business intermediaries, schools and higher education institutions: our commercial search and advisory activities: and directly to users through seminars, our central unit and this website. |
| Government Funding | The government provides grants that lower costs (up to 50% of each amount due), provided that the applicant or the owner of the granted patent/utility model has not taken over or transferred the right in legal conditions or for payment. |
| IP Clinics | The information regarding the IP attorneys or specialised agencies can be found here. |
| Enforcement | |
| Enforcing IP Rights | To enforce their IP rights, owners have the following means: civil action, by which payment of full damages to the owner and the recall or removal of the infringing goods from the market or the destruction of the goods may be ordered by courts: criminal prosecution (mainly if there is a large-scale counterfeiting of goods with an important impact on the market). To initiate action in criminal cases, a prior complaint by the right holder is not mandatory, since state institutions conduct the proceedings. However, the full cooperation of the IP rights holder is required. The courts can order imprisonment or fines or compensation of damages for losses suffered by the owner. The competent court for infringement cases are the Bucharest Courts, which have specialised panels. |
