Country-specific decision
One unitary EU right across all member states
An EU trade mark is a unitary right covering all EU member states through one application. The application is examined and, if accepted, published for a three-month opposition period.
- A single EUIPO application can create one trade mark right valid across every EU member state.
- The unitary route is assessed for the EU as a whole; national registrations remain separate complementary options.
- If a unitary application cannot proceed, conversion into national applications may be available in qualifying circumstances and requires case-specific review.
