Trademark Searches And Applications - European Community

The Community Trademark (CTM), instituted in April of 1996 by the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), allows an applicant to file a single trademark application to obtain trademark protection in each of the member states of the European Union. These include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Due to the creation of the CTM it is also now possible to conduct trademark searches in the European Community. Such searches would include information on all active applications and registrations filed with the Trademark Registry of the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding trademark searches and applications in the European Community.
