Lasting od procedure
With properly managing the procedure of trademark registration in European Union the process is finalized in 4 months most. However, by its registering, our trademark already has temporary protection!
To whom do we recommend?
For companies that still have not decided in what direction would like to expand, or for those which exactly know on what European market they would like to expand in future. European Union trademark increases prestige of Your business in the customer eyes and between Your business partners.

During the trademark reserach, tracking of it is also included – if anyone else submitted application for trademark protection with identical or similar trademark.
What does EU trademark provide in return?
Significant reduction of registration costs and maintainance fee and bigger territorial protection. Administration is much simplier if we can together manage our trademark on such a big area and for so many nations.
