Cost of EU Trade Marks Plummets – Now Save €700 per Application!

Did you know that UK businesses are amongst the most prolific filers of EU Trade Mark Applications? New applicants can now enjoy a major benefit to thousands of SMEs: a significant cut in charges.  OHIM has recently announced and implemented a price cut of €700 for applications in up to three classes.  Silverman Sherliker was among the first to welcome this important step, and immediately passed the reduction on to its clients.

"We have been able to make a major cut in the cost of an EU application," says IP specialist Robert MacGinn.  "This means that a new application - previously £2400 - now costs less than £1800.  It brings valuable legal protection, lasting 10 years and covering all 27 EU countries, within the reach of many more businesses."

This is particularly good news for the proprietors of trade marks with a specification covering numerous classes.
