Trademark (trade mark) your company name in Europe


How much will the registration cost?

Filing a Community trade mark application is not expensive: only 975 EUR for three classes of goods and services. The final registration fee of 1100 EUR only needs to be paid once no obstacles remain to the trade mark being granted. That is to say, by spending only Euro 2075 (= 975+1100), you can easily have your trade mark protected in the entire 25 EU member states. The additional class fee amounts to 200 EUR each time. Therefore, a Community trade mark could help to retrench one's expenses if a trade mark protection in at least several Member States of the European Union is sought or if the extension of activities to the entire European Union in the future is envisaged.
