Need a new application, a renewal, or a specific proceeding such as an opposition or a trademark transfer? See our trademark services.
Why appoint a representative
A non-EU holder can file an EU trademark, but cannot act alone once the EUIPO raises a point, a third party intervenes, or a renewal falls due. A representative appointed in advance keeps these deadlines and the official correspondence in EEA hands.
Enter your existing EU trademark number and your contact details, then pay the flat fee.
Metzler Legal is recorded at the EUIPO as your representative and address for service.
As your representative of record, the firm receives what the EUIPO sends and forwards it to you without delay. Further steps, such as an opposition or a renewal, can be arranged whenever you need them.
Included in the service fee
Need more? New applications, renewals and proceedings such as oppositions or transfers are handled as separate services. A short enquiry is always free, just email or book a consultation.

No. Anyone can file an EU trademark application without a representative. The requirement applies to everything after filing: an objection by the Office, an opposition by a third party, and later renewals, recordals or cancellation proceedings. A holder without an establishment in the EEA must be represented for those and cannot act alone.
A legal practitioner or professional representative whose place of business or employment is in the EEA. Nationality does not matter. What matters is the location of the representative.
The flat fee is for acting as your representative. It does not include EUIPO official fees, which apply to filings and renewals and are paid to the Office.
