Appealing EUIPO Trademark Refusals: Navigating Your Path to Registration

Have you ever wondered what if the EUIPO refuses to register your trademark™️?

Can you then still do something about it? The answer is YES! 👍🏻

In the first place, you have the right to appeal to the EUIPO Board of Appeal, but even if it maintains the EUIPO decision to refuse the registration of your trademark™️, it does not close your path to registration.

You have the right to file an action with the General Court 👩🏼‍⚖️🧑🏻‍⚖️👨🏽‍⚖️⚖️within 2 months 📅of the notification of the decision of the Board of Appeal.

The action may be brought in any of the official languages of the EU🇪🇺.

However, remember that during this procedure representation by a professional attorney 👩🏽‍💼🧑🏿‍💼👨🏼‍💼is mandatory.

If you have any doubts, wonder whether it is worth it or look for the assistance of an attorney to file such an action, feel free to contact me.
