We help you choose: a business trading only in Ireland usually starts with an Irish trademark, while an online business selling across Europe usually needs an EU trade mark.

How trademark registration works in Ireland

Search. We check the registers for identical and similar marks before you file.
Classes. We choose the classes (there are 45: classes 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services) and draft the list of goods and services.
Filing. We file the application online and send you the filing receipt. Your filing date is your priority date.
Examination. The office checks the application. If it raises an objection, we reply on your behalf.
Publication and opposition. The mark is published in the official journal and third parties have three months to oppose it.
Registration. If there is no opposition, the registration fee is paid and the certificate is issued.

In Ireland an application without objections or opposition usually takes 8 to 12 months from filing to registration.

What you provide

The name, logo or slogan you want to protect
A description of what you sell or plan to sell
The owner of the trademark: your company or you personally
Proof of ID and address of the owner, as required by Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules

What you can register as a trademark

Words and brand names, logos, slogans, combinations of words and images, and in some cases colours, shapes and sounds. The mark must be distinctive: a name that only describes the product or service, such as “Dublin Accounting Software” for accounting software, is usually refused.

Frequently asked questions

How do I register a trademark in Ireland?

Search the registers, choose the classes, file the application with the IPOI, answer any objection, wait for the three-month opposition period after publication and pay the registration fee. We do all of these steps for you.

How long does trademark registration take in Ireland?

Usually 8 to 12 months from filing for an Irish trademark without objections or opposition. An opposition adds several months.

How long does a trademark last?

10 years, and it can be renewed every 10 years without limit.

Does an EU trade mark cover Ireland?

Yes. An EU trade mark covers every EU member state, including Ireland.

Is registering a company or business name the same as a trademark?

No. Registering a company or business name with the CRO does not give you trademark rights. To protect a brand you need a trademark. Before you choose a name, use our free company name check.

Should the trademark be owned by my company or by me?

In most cases by the company that uses the brand. We advise on ownership before filing, because changing the owner later requires a separate recorded assignment.

Do I have to use the trademark?

Yes. If a registered mark is not genuinely used for five years, it can be revoked for the goods or services where it is not used.

Can you register my trademark in the UK or the USA?

Yes. We also file trademark applications in the UK and the USA on request.
