Trademark registration in Ireland can be a complex and time-consuming process, so it’s important to have all the information you need before beginning. Here are the basics:
1. To register a trademark in Ireland, you must submit an application form and pay fees. The application form can be found on the Irish Patent and Trade Mark Office website (www.ipmo.ie). You can also contact us for Trade mark help.
2. Once your application is complete, you will need to send copies of the application, including any supporting documentation, to the Irish Patent and Trade Mark Office.
3. The Irish Patent and Trade Mark Office will then send your application to the relevant national authorities in each member state of the European Union for consideration. If your mark is accepted by one of these authorities, they will issue you with a certificate of Registration (or Pending Registration) that confirms your mark’s validity for use in that country.
4. After receiving your Certificate of Registration from one of the national authorities, you can start using your mark in that country. However, before doing so, you’ll need to apply for a Trademark License from the Irish Patent and Trade Mark Office (if your mark is not already licensed). A Trademark License allows you to use your mark nationwide without having to comply with any local trademark regulations in each individual country where your products or services are sold or offered to consumers. To apply for a Trademark License, please
