European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)

European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)

EUIPO is the European Union Intellectual Property Office responsible for managing the EU trade mark and the registered Community design. We also work with the IP offices of the EU Member States and international partners to offer a similar registration experience for trade marks and designs across Europe and the world.

Who we are

Whether you are in trade, manufacturing or services, registering your trade mark or design makes business sense.

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which was known as OHIM until 23 March 2016, can provide you with exclusive rights for trade mark and design protection throughout the European Union (EU) with just a single application.

But we offer much more than just registration: we are a European Union agency with a global focus.

What we do

At EUIPO our activities span the EU and the world.

Our cooperation activities are part of our core business, and our quality and strategic activities help ensure that our work is efficient and conforms to international best practice.

Work with EUIPO

At the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), formerly known as OHIM, we are constantly driving up our standards to offer a fast, reliable and efficient registration service. To achieve all this we have the best resource of all – our people.
