European Union Trade Mark (EUTM)
The regional system for the protection of European Union trade mark (EUTM), is the best way to protect your trade mark in the European union.
Once registered as EUTM the trade mark gains protection on the territory of all member states of EU (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK).
Protecting your trademark as EU trade mark, gives your business the necessary confidence in the possessed rights, as well as enables the use of the trademark not only on the territory of one member state of the EU, but also on the territory of the whole union.
