Originality is decisive in trademark registration
A trademark registration provides the unique right of use for the marketing of a new brand name and logo. The registration is per country or continent and applies to a selection of 45 classes (see below). Usually 3 classes are included in the registration, but situations are conceivable in which more or even all classes must be registered. Registering a brand name and logo requires careful prior selection of the countries and classes, which must also include future plans.

A trademark registration agency examines the feasibility in advance, subject to reservation. Based on this estimate, it can be decided to start a registration procedure. This procedure does not guarantee whether the registration is actually possible. Even if a positive assessment has been made in advance.

The procedure consists of formally applying for and publishing the application to which other parties (who claim that this name or logo infringes their trademark/logo) can respond. Without objection, a registration for the Benelux and Europe can be completed within 2-3 months. For registration in other countries and continents, a longer term must be taken into account.

For a registration only in the Netherlands, registration is automatically made in the Benelux. In the Netherlands, the registration coincides with Belgium and Luxembourg (Biop - Benelux). Bundling the application is also possible for countries in the European Union (i.e. not the UK). But an application can also be submitted per country.
