EUROPEAN TRADEMARKS REGISTRY

Geissler & Associates / Law Partners offers trademark registry services before the national industrial property authorities in Ireland, United Kingdom, and Malta.

European Trademark Research

For each category of trade and for each country within the European Union, it is necessary to search published records for prior commercial use of each trademark or service mark so as to avoid possible trademark infringement.

Geissler & Associates / Law Partners offers legal research in English-language publications and public records for possible prior trademark infringement in each jurisdiction where trademark registration is sought.

European Trademark Registration

Geissler & Associates / Law Partners offers legal services in relation to the registration of trademarks in the European Union.

In Europe, the community trademark (CTM) system is administered by the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) in accordance of the COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 40/94 of 20 December 1993 as amended.

Community trademark applications are submitted to:

Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM)
Avenida de Europa, 4
E-03008 Alicante
SPAIN

European Trademark Fees

Separate fees are levied for each trade category and for each jurisdiction where registration is sought. Typically, however, the costs per trademark or service mark inclusive of legal research, filing fees and professional fees, are as follows.

European Trademark – (OHIM) $5,500
[NOTE: this represents $2,500 in professional fees plus $3,000 in statutory governmental filing fees and estimated costs such as foreign language translation.]

Slightly higher fees are charged for International Trademark Registration pursuant to the Madrid Agreement and Protocol.

Professional Fees
