A trade mark uniquely identifies your products or services to your customers. Registering a trade mark means you can take legal action against anyone who uses your mark without your permission, including counterfeiters. You can also use the ® symbol next to your mark, which warns others against using your trade mark without your authorisation, and you can sell and license your mark.

The cost depends on the number of classes in which a mark is to be protected. Our professional fee for one-class application is $649. Every additional class is subject to our professional fee of $199. Every application is subject to a government fee of €850 for the first class, €50 for the second and €150 for every additional one.

The European Union is one of the fastest jurisdictions in the world when it comes to trade mark registration. Once the application is filed to the EUIPO (The European Union IP Office) formal requirements are checked by an examiner. The examination usually takes up to 2 weeks. Once this phase is completed, the application is published for 3 months for opposition purposes. During this so-called opposition period anyone can file an opposition against the application. Once the opposition period is over, the mark is formally registered within a few days with a registration certificate being issued. Without any problems during the examination and opposition period, a mark can be formally registered within 5 months from the filing date.
