Secure & Protect Your Brand Identity in Ireland
Your brand name, logo, and distinctive catchphrases are among your most valuable commercial assets. TAS Consulting guides businesses through the complete trademark registration lifecycle with the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI), securing exclusive legal ownership and nationwide market protection.
Why Trademark Registration is Crucial for Irish Businesses
Registering a company name with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) only gives you corporate trading rights; it does not stop competitors from using your exact brand name, logo, or slogan to sell competing goods or services. Securing an official trademark through the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI) grants you exclusive monopoly rights over your commercial identifiers.
With an officially registered trademark, you gain the legal power to take swift action against counterfeiters or infringers, boost your company's valuation during investor due diligence, and license or franchise your brand safely across the Irish market and wider European jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between registering a company name with the CRO and a trademark?
Registering a company name with the CRO only prevents another company from registering the exact same corporate name in Ireland. A trademark registered with the IPOI grants you exclusive commercial rights over your brand name or logo for specific goods and services, allowing you to stop others from using similar branding.
How long does trademark registration take in Ireland?
The standard trademark registration process with the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland typically takes between 4 to 6 months, provided there are no objections from the examiner or third-party oppositions during the publication period.
How long does a trademark last once registered?
An Irish trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of filing. It can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years upon payment of the statutory renewal fees, ensuring lifelong protection for your brand assets.
Can I protect my trademark across the entire European Union?
Yes. In addition to national Irish filings via the IPOI, we can assist you in filing an EU Trademark (EUTM) through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), granting unified protection across all member states.
