Frequently asked questions

Should I register my trademark in France, the UK, or the EU?
It depends on your market. An EU trademark (via EUIPO) covers all 27 member states. A UK trademark covers the UK post-Brexit. We typically recommend both for businesses operating across the Channel, plus French national filing for additional protection.
