ThenRegistrationCertificate, protection for 10 years

The EUIPO does not examine whether earlier trade marks exist. It only informs you of earlier EU trade marks found in its own search (and national ones, if you ask and pay for it). Conflicts are decided only if an owner files an opposition. A search before filing is therefore the best protection against losing time and fees.

What you need to send us

  • The mark: a word or a logo file
  • The future owner with full address
  • A short description of what you offer today and plan to offer over the next five years

We draft the list of goods and services in line with the Nice Classification (13th edition, in force since 1 January 2026) and the EUIPO’s harmonised terms.

Practical example 1

Descriptive name

A client wants to register “FreshClean” for detergents. We advise that the EUIPO will probably refuse it as descriptive. The client chooses a distinctive variation with a logo; the mark is registered without objections.

Practical example 2

Trade fair next week

A company contacts us on Friday before a trade fair. We file on Monday using the Fast Track; the filing date is secured before the product is shown in public.
