It is permitted to display registered trademarks and service marks of this specific enterprise on the signboard, in accordance with established procedures. Any other information placed on the signboard is considered advertising and must be processed in the general procedure. An informational signboard should have a size of 0.7 x 0.5 meters. All economic entities regardless of ownership form are required to register their signboard with the department for consumer market development, advertising, and foreign economic activity, and obtain a Certificate of Registration.
