What is the application process for EU trademarks?
the process of applying for an EU trademark is divided into trademark application submission, trademark examination, public application, objection, registration and publicity.

the applicant's application to the EU Intellectual Property Office can be divided into online application and paper application. After receiving the application, the EU Intellectual Property Office will review the trademark application documents and notify the applicant to make corrections within 2 months. Failing to make corrections within the specified time, it shall be deemed as giving up the trademark application; If there are no problems in the trademark documents examined by the EU Intellectual Property Office, the application for registration will be published in the EU Trademark Gazette.

during the trademark announcement period, anyone who thinks that the trademark applied for registration has damaged his prior rights may raise an objection within three months after the application is made public for one month, and the EU Intellectual Property Office will organize the procedures of both parties and finally make a decision. If you refuse to accept the final decision of the European Intellectual Property Office, you can appeal according to the above steps. Anyone who thinks that the trademark applied for registration does not meet the requirements for trademark registration may make comments to the EU Intellectual Property Office, which will inform the applicant and consider it.

if no objection or opinion is raised within the specified time, or the objection or opinion is untenable, the EU Intellectual Property Office will register, publish it in the EU Trademark Gazette and issue an electronic registration certificate, and the trademark registration will be completed.
