A handbook which guides you on the How, When and Why in the European trademark system.

This book covers all of the general aspects of protecting a trademark in the European Union – either by direct filing at the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) or through the Madrid Protocol.

It is a first-aid handbook which you can keep on your desk and use:

  • when filing a Community trade mark (CTM) application or designating the European Union through the Madrid Protocol

  • when there is a notice of opposition against your mark

  • or simply when you want to learn more about trademarks in the European Union


Throughout the book case-law is used to demonstrate the practice of OHIM, the Boards of Appeal, the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union.


Contents:

  • Background information on the CTM system as well as OHIM’s past, present and future

  • How to obtain trademark protection in the European Union with a special focus on the different kinds of trademarks, what it takes to obtain them as well as some of the obstacles for obtaining a trademark protection

  • How you can lose your trademark protection in the European Union after having obtained it. Focus is on oppositions, cancellations and the appeal system

  • How you can renew your trademark

    • You can also find the basic regulation – CTMR – and both the application forms, CTM (OHIM) and international registrations (WIPO), together with a list of the relevant case-law in the book.

The book also includes information about the special conditions that apply for Norwegians in relation to trademark protection in the European Union.
