The costs of trademark applications on a European Union level (> Union Trademark or “EU trademark”) consist of official fees and – in case it is handled by a patent attorney or a lawyer – of lawyer’s fees.

At the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) the basic official fee for a trademark covers only one class since the last reform. Every further class leads to an additional class fee.

If you entrust an intellectual property (IP) lawyer or patent attorney to assist you, his service fees for taking care of this matter have to be added (e.g. filing the application, communication with the trademark office and supervision of deadlines as well as correspondence with the client).

Our IP Law Firm offers competitive fixed prices (flat fees) when it comes to trademark registration proceedings in the EU to get a Union trademark. These fees depend on the related work and the client’s preparations.

To send you our tailor-made offer, e.g. the following questions have to be answered:

• Do you already know the kind of trademark which should be protected (e.g. figurative mark, word and design mark, wordmark, 3D trade mark, slogan trademark) already defined?
• Do you have a list of goods and services which is available in English?
• Do you already have a trademark in another country and the priority should be claimed of it?
• Do you require a trademark search for potentially conflicting trade marks (e.g. similar or identical trademarks protected in the European Union)?

If you provide us the information above we can send you our tailor-made offer for the EU trademark application.
