Good to know

- The registration fee of EUR 177.00 is requested only after the three-month opposition period ends without opposition.
- A trade mark is registered as of the filing date of the application, which the Trade Marks Act 1996 deems the date of registration; the 10-year term runs from that date.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Ireland is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2001-10-19, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
- EU trade mark (EUIPO)
- An EU trade mark has a unitary character and equal effect throughout the European Union, which includes Ireland.
