The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) plays a crucial role in managing EU Trade Mark and Design rights, which hold jurisdiction across the European Union. These rights serve as complements to national intellectual property (IP) rights and are interconnected with international IP systems. Since 2012, EUIPO has overseen the EU Observatory on the Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and the Orphan Works Database.
Annually, the Office handles an impressive volume, with over 150,000 trade mark and 90,000 design applications. Additionally, it actively promotes alignment of practices among IP offices across EU member states through collaboration facilitated by the European Union Intellectual Property Network. Utilizing user-friendly IP tools, this cooperation seeks to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.
