What is the trademark protection procedure in the EU/internationally?

The registration process begins by filing an application. The office reviews it for absolute grounds of refusal.

What can be protected as a trademark?

You can protect a word, logo, slogan, 3D shape, video, and more.

We received an invoice for fee payment. Should we pay it?

NO. If you received such a document, you have likely already paid the official fees. Official IP registries do not issue invoices.

Which of the following can I protect as a brand (word, logo, slogan, 3D design, video,...)?

All of the above. And more. In some countries, it is also possible to protect smell, taste, sound mark, multimedia mark and 3D marks. Word and figurative marks (logos with or without words) are most often protected. During an individual consultation with our representative, we can provide you with information about what and how is most worthwhile to protect.
