Intellectual Property Office Includes FilingCosts

Under the Madrid International trademark System, it was previously possible to register a trademark and specify “EU” as the location if one wished the mark to be protected in both the UK and the EU. Due to Brexit, this is no longer the case, and separate filings need to be carried out to protect your trademark under both jurisdictions. Trademarks that were registered under the Madrid System before Brexit will be automatically transitioned, but new trademarks need to be applied directly to the EU. We can take care of this efficiently and quickly for you. An EU trademark (EUTM) will provide you with protection in all member states of the EU.

EU trademarks can only be registered for the entirety of the EU, under one unit. It is not possible to register a trademark for only one country in the EU.

No. EU trademarks will automatically apply to any new member country that joins the EU after your application.

Europe and China use a “first-to-file” trademark regime which means that trademark law favours the legal person who first filed for a trademark and not the person who first used it. Such a regime has resulted in over 7,000,000 trademark applications to be registered a year in China, as well as trademark “squatting” in the same country.
