Frequently asked questions
-
No. An EU trade mark has equal effect throughout the Union only (Art. 1(2) EUTMR). The UK left the EU, so it needs its own filing.
-
If your business is outside the EEA, you may file the application yourself. For every step after filing, you must be represented by an EEA-based professional representative (Art. 119(2) EUTMR).
-
Ten years from the filing date, renewable for further ten-year periods (Art. 52 EUTMR).
-
After an application is published, the owner of an earlier right has three months to oppose it (Art. 46(1) EUTMR). The EUIPO then decides whether the new mark may be registered.
-
Yes. If an EU trade mark is not put to genuine use in the EU within five years of registration, it becomes vulnerable to challenge (Art. 18(1) EUTMR).
