After receiving the application, the EU Intellectual Property Office will conduct formal examination and substantive examination. Among them, the substantive examination only involves the examination of absolute reasons, and at the same time, the EU Intellectual Property Office will produce an EU trademark inquiry report and notify the prior trademark holder with the same/similar trademark composition as the EU application for reference.
after the examination and approval, the European intellectual property office will announce the trademark application, and the objection period is 3 months from the date of announcement, and any interested party or prior right holder can raise an objection.
