Community trademark filing advice and services
Neikos s.r.l. provides assistance and advice in the filing stages, offering a European Union trademark registration and renewal service.
Who can register a CTM.
Either a company or an individual can own a CTM. A CTM is registered for new trademarks and to extend protection, throughout the territory of the European Union. The CTM complements national protection systems. It has a term of ten years from the date of filing the application and is renewable.
An EU trademark can consist of any sign, particularly words (including personal names), or designs, letters, numbers, colors, the shape of goods or the packaging of goods or sounds.
Depending on what you want to protect (a word, a figure, a color, etc.) you have different branding options. The signs that make up a trademark must be able to distinguish the goods and services of one business from those of another. To be eligible for registration, your trademark must be distinctive and must not describe what you sell.
Registration is carried out by Neikos on behalf of the client by filing by Telematics with EUIPO in one of the official languages of the European Union.
Neikos handles all stages of trademark registration:
- Representation design
- Deposit assistance
- Priority search
- Submission of application
- Support and assistance for oppositions
Online filing involves a basic fee paid directly to EUIPO and provides trademark protection for only one class of goods or services. To add more classes, a fee will be paid for each that increases proportionally.
