How long does it take to process a change with EUIPO?
Change requests typically take about one week to process by the European Union Intellectual Property Office and to update official records in all member states.
Is there a difference between a Change of Name and a Transfer in the EU?
Yes. A Change of Name occurs when the legal entity remains the same but the name changes. A Transfer (assignment) is a change of ownership to a different legal entity with different requirements and fees.
Do I need to update my trademark certificate after a change?
EUIPO does not automatically issue new certificates for changes. The electronic record is updated, which serves as the official record across all EU member states.
What are the consequences of not updating my information with EUIPO?
Failure to update can result in missed official communications, inability to enforce your rights, and complications with future transactions or renewals.
Can I update multiple EU trademarks with one application?
Yes, you can request changes for multiple EU trademarks owned by the same entity in a single application, which can be more cost-effective.
