The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) launched a new electronic application form for EU trademarks on 1. August 2022, which EUIPO hopes will make the application process more user-friendly and efficient.

The new application form has a new design that provides better guidance and is more intuitive. Various new functions in the electronic application form should also help make the application process easier. For example, with the new application form it will be possible to import information from a previous EU trademark application or a national trademark application into the new EU trademark application. Changes to the search function should also make it easier to search for goods or services for the applicant’s product list.
