EUIPO Representation / EU Representation for Article 41 EUTMR Deficiency

Fast, efficient solution by experienced EU Trademark Lawyers for EUIPO formality irregularities concerning self-filed EUTM applications

Have you received an Article 41 EUTMR notice from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) requiring you to appoint an EU representative for your self-filed European Union trademark?

If your EU trademark application (EUTM) was filed without an EU-based representative and you are not domiciled in the EU / EEA, the EUIPO will suspend the further processing of your Union trademark application until this formal deficiency is resolved.

The services of our experienced EU Trademark Lawyers (German and European Patent, Trademark and Design Attorney and German Certified Intellectual Property Lawyer) address this situation:

You only need an EUIPO representative like us to fix the issue and nothing more!
