The trademark authority of the Union is the European Intellectual Property Office, and the official languages are English, court, German, Italian and Spanish. Trademark rights are obtained through registration, and the principle of "application first" is adopted.

At present, there are 27 member States in the European Union (Brexit). After a trademark is successfully registered, it will be protected in 27 countries. The cost is much lower than applying in 27 countries alone.

The biggest disadvantage of the EU trademark is that the objection raised by a company or individual from one of the 27 member countries will delay the progress of the whole EU application review. If the final objection is established, the whole EU application will be rejected.

eu member States: Austria (Austria), Belgium (Belgium), Bulgaria (Bulgaria), Cyprus (Cyprus), Croatia (Croatia), Czechia Republic (Czechoslovakia), Denmark (Denmark), Estonia (Estonia), Finland (Finland), France (France), France. Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland and Portugal. Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

The EU trademark registration process is: application-examination (reasons)-announcement-registration and certification.
