A European Union Trade Mark (EUTM) is a single trademark registration filed with EUIPO (EU Intellectual Property Office) in Alicante, Spain that provides automatic protection across all 27 EU member states. One application, one fee, one registration — valid for 10 years and renewable indefinitely. We handle the entire process from clearance search to grant.
The EPO grants European patents covering up to 44 countries through a single examination procedure. Once granted, the patent must be validated in each desired country. Our patent attorneys manage the entire process including drafting, filing, examination responses, and grant — then assist with national validation to maximise your protection efficiently.
Yes. Applicants from outside the EU, including Indian companies and individuals, can apply for EUTM and European patents directly. However, a professional representative authorised before EUIPO or EPO is typically required. Our firm acts as your authorised representative, handling all correspondence with European IP offices on your behalf.
The Madrid System allows you to file a single international trademark application through WIPO covering 130+ countries, designating individual EU member states or the EU as a whole (via EUIPO). It is cost-effective for businesses seeking broad protection beyond the EU.

Copyright in the EU arises automatically upon creation of an original work — no registration is required. Protection is harmonised across member states through EU Directives including the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive. We advise on cross-border enforcement, licensing structures, DMCA takedown procedures, and anti-piracy strategy to protect your creative works throughout Europe.
