Steps for Trademark Registration in the European Union (EUIPO)
Trademark Search
Search the EUIPO database to check for existing trademarks across all EU member states and avoid potential conflicts.
File the Application
Submit your trademark application via the EUIPO online system, selecting the appropriate classes and mark type.
Formal Examination
EUIPO examines the application to ensure it meets all formal requirements and classification standards.
Substantive Examination
Examiner checks if the trademark is distinctive and not descriptive or misleading under EU law.
Publication in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin
The trademark is published in the EUIPO Bulletin for opposition by third parties within a fixed period.
Opposition (3 Months)
Third parties may file an opposition within 3 months if they believe the mark infringes on their rights.
Registration
If no opposition is filed (or opposition is resolved), the trademark is registered and published in the Register.
Trademark Validity
An EU trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date and grants protection across all EU countries.
Renewal
The trademark can be renewed indefinitely for 10-year periods by paying the renewal fee before expiry.
Registering a trademark through the EUIPO provides unified protection across all EU member states with a single application. It’s crucial to select the right goods and services classes to ensure comprehensive coverage.
The process typically takes 4–6 months if no opposition is filed. If opposed, the timeline may extend based on legal proceedings.
Our legal team offers end-to-end assistance for EU trademark registration—from preliminary search and classification to opposition handling and renewal.
