Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to register a trademark?
Official fees depend on the number of classes and are set by the INPI (national) or EUIPO (EU). We give you a fixed quote before filing. [verify official fees]
How long does trademark registration take?
It depends on whether there are objections or oppositions. We give you a realistic estimate for your case.
Do I need a lawyer to register a trademark?
Not strictly, but a clearance search and correct class selection reduce the risk of refusal and opposition. We handle it end to end.
National or EU trademark?
A national mark (INPI) covers Portugal; an EU mark (EUIPO) covers every Member State with a single application. We advise based on your markets.
