Filing for IP protection through the EUIPO involves several steps:
Research: Conduct a thorough search to ensure the innovation is new and does not infringe on existing IP rights. Application: Submit a detailed application describing the innovation, its uniqueness, and its industrial applicability. Examination: The EUIPO examines the application to verify its compliance with the legal requirements. Publication: If the application is approved, it is published in the EUIPO database, granting exclusive rights to the innovator.
