Why is it important to register your own trademark abroad?

For companies trading in goods in the European Union, it is important that the trademark is registered in the European Union.

You can register a trademark in one of the European Union countries, but it is more profitable to register a trademark in all European Union countries, since the protection of the trademark will not be limited to the borders of a single country, but will extend to all countries that are members of the European Union. The time and cost of registration are the same.

A registered trademark in the European Union protects against the risk of registering a trademark by unscrupulous competitors, who in this case may prohibit you from using it.
The trademark is also intended to increase the recognition of your product.
Trademark registration is carried out at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in one of the languages ​​​​of the European Union member states.

The necessary steps for registering a trademark in the European Union are:

– Conducting a preliminary examination for the similarity of your trademark with those already registered in the European Union;

– Official submission of an application to the EUIPO;

– Examination of the application for the registration of similar trademarks;

– Publication of the trademark in an official publication, confirming its registration.
