How we can help
Choose the protection your business actually needs.
Trademark registration is territorial and tied to specified goods and services. A company name or domain registration does not replace trade mark protection.
European Union trade mark
An application to EUIPO for protection across the EU. Earlier rights and objections in the EU must be considered when choosing this route.
Searches and risk assessment
Review relevant earlier marks and possible obstacles before filing. A search informs the decision; it cannot eliminate every objection or guarantee registration.
Goods, services and classes
Define what the brand will cover and prepare the list for your application. The wording and number of classes influence both protection and official fees.
Prepare before filing
Confirm the applicant, the mark and the relevant goods and services. We discuss any search findings, scope limits and the costs before submitting the agreed application.
Examination and publication
The relevant office examines the application. Published national and EU applications are subject to a three-month opposition period. Questions from the office or an opposition may require additional work.
Plan beyond the application
Registration is not immediate or guaranteed. An EU trade mark lasts ten years from filing and can be renewed for further ten-year periods. Renewal, monitoring, disputes and expansion to other territories are separate scopes unless included in the offer.

Fees & additional costs
An individual offer.

Patent Office or EUIPO fees, translations and any dispute work are identified separately; payment of a filing fee does not guarantee registration.
Before you begin
Useful answers.
Have a different question? Describe your situation and we will explain whether and how we can help.
Describe your caseShould I choose Bulgaria or an EU trade mark?
It depends on where you trade, where you plan to expand and the earlier rights identified. A Bulgarian registration is national; an EU trade mark is a unitary right across the EU. We assess the suitable route for your business.
Can I protect my company name, logo or both?
Potentially. A word mark and a figurative mark protect different aspects of a brand. We review the sign and your priorities and explain whether separate applications would be appropriate.
How long will registration take?
Timing depends on examination, publication, the opposition period and any objections. We provide an estimate for the chosen route after the initial review. Filing an application is not the same as obtaining a registration.
What happens if someone opposes the application?
We explain the notice, deadlines and available options. Representation in an opposition, negotiations or an appeal is separately scoped and quoted unless already expressly included in your engagement.
