So you want to keep your brand rightfully yours
by registering it as a trademark in the European Union
How can you register your trademark or logo in all countries of the European Union at once?
There are two easy ways of doing this.
First a European trademark application can be filed directly with the European Union Intellectual Property Agency
or as an alternative,
the same application can be filed indirectly, via WIPO which is the World Intellectual Property Organization.
In both cases, if your business is not located in the EU, you will sooner or later likely need an EU trademark attorney.
However, let's not rush ahead with the filing, since the trademark practice and laws of the EU
might be quite different from the ones in your country.
For example, trademarks that are suggestive or descriptive regarding your business, might not be protected.
Also, a timely checking whether the trademark or logo has already been registered or used in the EU by third parties,
might save you some trouble later on.
We, at Süle Law Firm, located in Budapest, Hungary, recommend consulting a trademark attorney before finalizing your trademark
or logo. When it comes to costs, we can consider that a trademark registration lasts for ten years
and can be renewed over and over again.
However, there are some factors that are
specific to your business and brand; such as the number of classes of goods of the trademark
and whether you need pre-registration strategizing
to help you avoid common European trademark problems.
