If you're an Australian business aiming to expand your trade mark to the European Union, it's crucial to determine whether you need a trade mark lawyer in the European Union.
Non-EU based lawyers can apply for an EU trade mark on your behalf through a Madrid application - so you don't need an EU-based lawyer. However, if you're filing an EU trade mark directly with the EUIPO, you will need to file the application through an EU based lawyer if your business isn't domiciled in the EU.
Considering professional assistance can streamline the process and ensure compliance with local laws.
