Brand protection in Ireland

Trademark Registration in Ireland protect your name, logo and slogan

Your brand is probably the most valuable thing you own. A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights to it in Ireland and makes it far easier to stop copycats. We run the searches, choose the right classes and handle the filing with the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI).

Official registration grants exclusive rights with the IPOI. Protect your brand identity today.

What you can protect

What can be registered as a trademark?

Any sign that can be shown on the register and that distinguishes your goods or services from someone else’s.

NamesYour company, brand or product name.
LogosThe symbol or design customers recognise.
SlogansTaglines that sum up what you do.
Letters and numbersAcronyms and product codes.
Shapes and packagingThe distinctive form of a product or pack.
SoundsA jingle or sound customers link to you.
The catch: a mark has to be distinctive. Purely descriptive or generic words, like “Fresh Bread” for a bakery, are usually refused. A made-up or unusual name is much easier to protect.
Why register

What registration gives you

Exclusive rights

You can stop others using the same or a confusingly similar mark for the goods and services you’ve registered.

Easier enforcement

A registration is clear proof of ownership, so tackling an infringer is simpler and cheaper.

A real business asset

A registered mark can be licensed or sold, and it adds weight when you raise money or sell the business.

How it works

From search to certificate

Search firstWe check the Irish and EU registers for identical or similar marks, so you don’t pay to file a mark that’s already taken.
Choose your classesGoods and services are grouped into classes. You pay per class, so we cover what you really sell and not a penny more.
File with the IPOIWe prepare and submit your application. You can’t add goods or services after filing, so getting this right matters.
ExaminationThe IPOI checks your mark against the Trade Marks Act. If it raises an objection, we respond for you.
Publication, then registrationYour mark is published so others can object. If nobody does, you pay the registration fee and receive your certificate.
Ireland, EU or worldwide? An Irish registration protects you in Ireland only. An EU trade mark covers every EU country, and the Madrid system lets you extend a home registration to other countries. We’ll help you choose.
Quick answers

Trademark questions

Does registering my company name protect my brand?
No. Registering a company with the CRO stops another company having the same registered name, but it doesn’t give you trademark rights. A trademark is a separate registration.
Do I have to register to use my brand name?
No, but unregistered rights are much harder to prove and enforce. Registration gives you a clear, public right.
Can I use the ® symbol straight away?
Only once your mark is registered. You can use ™ at any time to show you claim a mark, but claiming registration you don’t have is a mistake to avoid.
Should I check my company name first?
Yes. A name that is free on the company register can still clash with a trademark. Read our naming tips and ask us to run a trademark search at the same time.
