Businesses wanting to protect a brand name or logo in Ireland need to understand how trade mark registration works, check for conflicting marks and know the filing steps and costs before applying.
About this support
The Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI) publishes a dedicated Trade Marks section covering the full lifecycle of trade mark protection in Ireland: understanding what a trade mark is and what can be registered, using the Trade Mark Search Tools to check for conflicting marks, the application process and what happens after you apply, and how to renew and manage a mark once registered. The page also links to the statutory trade mark fee schedule. It is aimed at businesses and individuals preparing to file a trade mark with IPOI, giving them a single reference point for the Irish national trade mark system before they search, apply or manage a registration through IPOI's own tools and forms.
