Filing and registering a European Union trademark (EUTM) before the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) gives you the fastest and the most cost-effective protection of a trademark throughout the European Union. The EUTM registration is valid in all 27 EU countries and may be obtained by filing a single application to the EUIPO.

For international safeguards of trademarks, the International Registration System allows a trademark owner to obtain protection in any of the countries that have joined the Madrid Protocol by filing a single application with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
