The Process

To register a trade mark across the entire European Union, the most efficient method is to file a European Union Trade mark (EUTM) application. This application covers all 27 EU Member States. The registration process typically takes about 4-5 months, so long as there are no objections.

The EUTM provides protection in every EU member state. A single similar trademark in any member state can lead to the rejection or cancellation of your application.

If accepted your ™ is registered for 10 years

The Process

We would undertake a trade mark search for you to ensure there are no other registered marks that yours may infringe upon, we’ll also provide advice on the likelihood of any objections being raised by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

Once complete we will then be in a position to file your trade mark application. The IPO will examine the application, and if there are no issues they raise it will be then published for opposition purposes. At the time of writing, so long as there is no opposition to the application the process is taking approximately 4-5 months.

Everything You Need To Know

Why Trade Mark?

Trademarking your brand also sets you apart from your competitors and helps you stand out in a crowded market. When you have a registered trademark, it shows customers and potential partners that you are a credible and legitimate business. It also gives you the legal right to take action against anyone who uses your brand without your permission. In addition to protecting your brand, trademarking your brand can also increase its value. Potential buyers will be more likely to invest in a business that has a protected brand, as they know they are getting a unique and established product or service.
