Real Brands. Real Losses.

These brands had registered trademarks.
They still lost them in Europe.

McDonald's

Lost "Big Mac" after 20+ years

McDonald's registered "Big Mac" as an EU trademark in 1996 and held it for over two decades. In 2019 they lost it — because they couldn't prove genuine use in Europe to the EUIPO's standard. Website evidence? Rejected. Wikipedia? Rejected.

→ Lesson: Filing is step one. Documenting EU use is step two. Both matter.

NFL

Lost "Super Bowl" for key service categories

The NFL filed substantial evidence — but the EUIPO's Cancellation Division revoked protection for services like "Advertising and business services related to American football." No invoices. No EU-specific sales data. Not enough.

→ Lesson: The EUIPO requires place, time, extent AND nature of use. All four.

Creator Brand

Squatter registered name after product announcement

An influencer with 800K followers announced her European skincare launch on Instagram. Within 6 weeks, a squatter registered her brand name with the EUIPO. Options: rebrand, pay €25,000, or spend 18 months in legal proceedings.

→ Lesson: Public announcements are squatter research. File before you announce.

Gaming Studio

Filed 1 class. Left 2 unprotected.

A gaming studio registered their brand in Class 41 (entertainment services) but not Class 9 (virtual goods, downloadable software) or Class 25 (merchandise). A competitor used their exact name across the other categories — legally.

→ Lesson: Gaps in classification are gaps in protection. Every one costs you.

The Process

From unprotected to registered.
Here's exactly how it works.

1
Free 15-min strategy call

I review your quiz answers before we speak. On the call I identify your top risks, recommend the right Nice Classes for your brand, and give you a clear picture of what filing looks like — and what it costs. No surprises.

2
Clearance search

Before filing anything, I run a clearance search across the EUIPO database and relevant national registers. If there's a conflict risk, you'll know before we spend a euro.

3
Direct EUIPO filing

I file directly with the EUIPO as your registered representative — no middleman, no markup chain. Your application goes in fast, with the right class strategy and FastTrack-compatible descriptions where possible.

4
Opposition monitoring

I monitor your application through the 3-month publication window. If anyone files an opposition, you hear from me within 4 hours — with a strategy and options, not just bad news.

5
Certificate issued — you're protected

Registration takes 5–7 months in a standard case. Your EU trademark covers all 27 member states and is valid for 10 years. I handle all communication with the EUIPO throughout.

Transparent pricing.
No hourly surprises.
