Trademark applications for all 27 EU Member States are administered by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), headquartered in Alicante, Spain. The EUIPO examines, publishes, and registers EU Trade Marks (EUTMs), which provide unitary protection across the entire European Union. The system includes formal and substantive examination, centralized opposition proceedings, and efficient online processing through a fully digital platform.
European Union Intellectual Property Office covers 27 countries Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
The Europe trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time.
Applications are filed online through the EUIPO Portal with the applicant’s details, representation of the mark, and goods/services per the NICE Classification. A filing number is generated instantly.
EUIPO conducts a formal examination followed by a substantive examination for distinctiveness, clarity, and compliance with the EUTM Regulation. EUIPO does not automatically refuse applications due to earlier conflicting marks but alerts owners of earlier marks who may oppose the application.
If no objections are raised regarding formalities or distinctiveness, the mark is published in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin after acceptance.
Third parties may file an opposition within 3 months from the date of publication. If no opposition is filed, or if resolved in the applicant’s favor, the mark moves to registration.
If unopposed, EUIPO issues the EUTM Registration Certificate, typically delivered electronically.
