A registered trademark is a valuable asset for any brand. Your U.S. trademark, however, only protects you in legal disputes within the United States. To gain legal protection for your mark outside the U.S., you must register your trademark in other countries. Whether your online retail store reaches customers in Italy or your software firm is looking to expand to Paris, you may want to consider trademark registration in the European Union. With 28 member countries, an EU registration is a simple way to start your international trademark plan.
• Conducting a trademark search.
• Filing your trademark application with the EUIPO.
• Submitting to EUIPO to initiate the examination period.
• Checking the Publication in the EU Trademark Bulletin.
• Confirming that your trademark is issued.
• Monitor and renew your trademark.
When beginning the process, you have several different options for registration. The first is the Madrid Protocol, which allows you to file a single application, which can then be applied to its more than 90 member countries. If you plan to register in countries outside the EU as well, this may be the best option for you because it will help keep your filing cost down. With this in mind, here are the six steps that are typically required to obtain a trademark registration in the European Union:
Conducting a trademark search
Once you’ve chosen a strong trademark, we will begin the process to register your mark with the EU. The first step in this process is to conduct a comprehensive trademark search. The reason for this search is to determine whether a similar mark has already been registered in the EU before you begin the task of applying with the EUIPO. While it can be frustrating to learn that your trademark has already been registered, knowing before you file will save you both time and money, and you’ll have the ability to make some changes to your mark before you file your application.
Filing your trademark application with the EUIPO
Once a comprehensive trademark search has revealed no similar matches, you can proceed with filing your trademark application. It is typically easier and more cost effective to apply electronically, and it’s the best option for those filing internationally. ATMSH Group will confirming with you again about your services and category of customers which you are going to service and all. After successful completion of your details ATMSH will submit your trademark application with the EUIPO.
Submitting to EUIPO to initiate the examination period
During the examination period, an EUIPO examiner will review your trademark application. Around one month after filing your application you will receive notice from the EUIPO, regarding any issues or questions that arose during the examination. This could be a concern regarding your class choice, wording, or the distinctiveness of the mark. Once you’ve received this notice, you will have two months to resolve any issues and respond accordingly. If needed, a two-month extension will be granted while you prepare your response.
Checking the Publication in the EU Trademark Bulletin
Following the examination period, your trademark will be published in the EU Trademark Bulletin. During this three month time period, other trademark owners can review your publication. If they feel that your mark may infringe on their existing trademark, they may file an opposition. Once an opposition is filed, your application could be delayed or rejected completely. Opposition procedures may last two years or longer. The possibility of an opposition being filed against you reinforces the need to complete a trademark search before you file your application.
Confirming that your trademark is issued
ATMSH will be in continuous monitoring activity to confirm your trade mark registration and publication. After the publication period, if no oppositions have been filed, the EUIPO will move to approve your trademark. Around six months after your mark is published in the EU Trademark Bulletin, you will be issued a certificate of registration. As a trademark owner in the EU, you now have legal rights to use your mark in any of its 28 member countries. You can also begin displaying the ® symbol wherever your trademark is visible, including packaging, signage, and websites.
Monitor and Renew your Trade Mark After the successful registration by ATMSH GROUP, The EUIPO grants trademarks, but they do not monitor or police their use. That responsibility is left to the trademark owner. In order to maintain exclusivity and control of your trademark, you must monitor its use within the EU, and take legal action as needed. Often, a cease-and-desist letter is all that is needed to put an infringer on notice, but occasionally, legal action must be taken to stop the unauthorized use of a registered mark. Many trademark attorneys offer monitoring services and can help navigate legal disputes should they arise.
A trademark registered in the EU is valid for 10 years from the date it is issued. To maintain your trademark, you must renew the mark with the EUIPO every 10 years. It is important to note that the EUIPO will not issue a reminder as your renewal date approaches. We will assist you to begin the renewal process falls on the trademark owner. Failure to meet renewal deadlines could cause your trademark to be canceled.
Whether you are currently doing business in the European Union, or you plan to do so in the future, it may be wise to consider an EU trademark registration. With a single application, you’ll gain valuable legal protections in 28 countries. Begin by conducting a comprehensive trademark search. Then, file an application with the EUIPO. Once examination and publication in the EU Trademark Bulletin are completed, you will be issued a trademark that won’t expire—so long as you continue to use the mark and file renewals every 10 years.
