Who is the service for?
The service is designed for international IP firms and professional representatives instructing new trademark applications or the takeover of representation for their clients’ existing trademark matters.
What does the €150 fee for a new trademark filing include?
The professional fee covers filing, payment handling for official fees, a filing report and a registration report with the certificate after registration. Official fees and separately charged services are additional. View the full scope for the relevant service:
What does the takeover of representation include?
The takeover covers review of the supplied documents, current office communication and deadlines, appointment or replacement of the representative, a submission report and checking that the appointment has been recorded. The appointment needed to resolve an objection about missing representation is included. Responses to other objections and further work are charged separately. See the fees and scope for the relevant office:
How do I receive filing receipts and certificates?
Filing receipts, reports and certificates are sent by email. For larger filing volumes, we can also arrange API notifications and document delivery to your systems.
What happens if the office raises an objection?
We forward the original official communication and provide a translation where required under your firm’s language preferences. For a communication setting a deadline, the €45 handling fee covers this service together with recording and monitoring the deadline. For an office objection, it also includes a brief initial assessment and an estimate for further work.
Your firm can supply a completed response for us to file for €85. This service does not include drafting, reviewing or substantively amending the response. Alternatively, you can separately instruct us to analyse the objection, review your draft or prepare a response.
Additional work requires a separate agreement and is billed at the agreed hourly rate in six-minute increments, with each started increment charged in full, unless otherwise agreed.
