Today we want to celebrate the registration of our wonderful trademark with the EUIPO – European Union Intellectual Property Office!
EUIPO trademark registration and what it means
The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is an agency of the European Union responsible for managing the registration of trademarks and designs across all member states. Registering a trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) grants protection for our brand across all EU member states.
In short, Nordic GEM trademark registration with EUIPO means:
- No new legal person can be registered in any EU member country with our name
- No existing legal person based in the EU can change their name to Nordic GEM
- The trademark protection lasts for 10 years after which it can be renewed
Many start-ups forget to register their brand from the get-go and it’s more common than you could imagine among larger companies as well.
