Do you want to register a brand name for the Dutch market? We will file a trademark application at the official Benelux trademark organization. Trademark registrations last for a period of 10 years, where you have the certainty that no one is allowed to touch your trademark. After that you can renew the trademark registration again and again for a period of 10 years each time.
A Benelux trademark registration includes 3 countries
A Benelux trademark registration gives you the exclusive right to use the trademark in pre determined classes of goods and services in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The three Benelux countries have a joint agreement for trademark protection since 1971: the Benelux Convention on Intellectual Property. A registration in The Netherlands only is not possible.
Classification of goods and services
The most important element of a trademark registration in the Benelux is classification. A careful classification determines the scope of protection of a trademark and smoothes any action against trademark conflicts. The international classification system of Nice has 45 standard categories. We categorize your trademark’s goods or services and draft a detailed and custom-made legal description.
What rights does a Benelux trademark owner have?
With a brand name trademark registration in the Benelux trademark register, you can prohibit third parties to register or use your trademark or any trademark that’s similar to yours with similar goods and services. You do not only have the right to object to any newer Benelux trademarks, but you also have the right to object to all trademarks valid in the Benelux, including EU trademarks and international trademarks.
