Before filing your trademark in The Benelux it is important that you evaluate possible obstacles that may arise during registration process.

Our Trademark Comprehensive Study will not only list similar trademarks {graphic/phonetic} that may conflict with yours, but also give you an Attorney's opinion about registration possibilities.

This report is optional but highly recommended.

We will handle your trademark request, check all formalities, and then file with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property. You will receive confirmation of filing and a copy of the filling request. We will contact you immediately if any subsequent office actions require additional information, or if there are any opposition in The Benelux against your application.

After the formal examination at the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property the trademark will be published for opposition to allow third parties to oppose if they believe that the mark infringes on their brands. The opposition period in Benelux Office for Intellectual Property is 2 months after publication. You will receive status updates as soon as your mark is published, and any actions they will take if oppositions are received.

If no oppositions arise and your trademark is formally approved, you can expect registration 3 to 4 months.

As The Benelux is a member of the Paris Convention, you can claim the priority of your filing in any other filing in national trademark offices of countries that are part of the Paris Convention.
