What should I know when applying for an EU trademark?
Hello, the instructions for applying for an EU trademark are as follows:

Official receipt time: 1-3 working days

Time required for registration: 4-7 months

Trademark validity period: 1 years

Trademark objection period: 3 months

Cancellation time for continuous non-use: 5 years

Renewal of the EU trademark: the validity period of each renewal is The application for renewal can be submitted within 12 months before the expiration or within 6 months after the expiration.

Analysis of the ways to handle the EU trademark:

The EU is a member of Madrid, and the designated fee is 897 Swiss francs. If the EU trademark is registered separately through Madrid, the official fee of Madrid trademark is (653+897)*7.2≈1116. yuan, plus the international trademark registration agency fee of Madrid is 3, yuan, which is 14,16 yuan. Domestic trademarks are required.

Only one EU country is designated through Madrid, and the cost is not much different from that of single application. However, the single registration time is faster, so the single application method can be considered.

review process: the biggest difference between the EU Intellectual Property Office review and the Chinese trademark review is that the EU Intellectual Property Office does not conduct substantive review. That is to say, when the EU Intellectual Property Office examines a trademark application, it only examines its registrability (including whether it is significant), and does not cite prior rights to reject the application.

within 3 months from the date of announcement, if no objection is raised or the objection is unfounded, the EU trademark will be registered.
