Trademark registration procedure in the EU
The trademark registration procedure in the EU involves filing an application with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and meeting certain requirements. The application must include a clear representation of the trademark, as well as a list of the goods and services for which the trademark will be used. The EUIPO will then examine the application to ensure that it meets the legal requirements for registration, including that the trademark is distinctive and not confusingly similar to other trademarks that are already registered. If the application is approved, the trademark will be published in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin and can be opposed by third parties. If no opposition is filed, or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the trademark will be registered and a certificate of registration will be issued. The trademark will be valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely for additional 10-year periods.
