Registering a trademark in Ireland is a statutory procedure administered by the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPO Ireland). Ireland is an EU member state, and its trademark system is highly harmonized with the EU. Below is a systematic summary of key considerations and frequently asked questions.
If your business is primarily focused on Ireland, a national trademark offers the best value. If your market covers the EU, applying directly for an EU trademark is more efficient. These two are not mutually exclusive and can be applied for concurrently to obtain different levels of protection.
Official Database Search: Professional searches must be conducted in the IPO Ireland database and the EU TMview database. Irish examiners will conduct a “relative grounds examination” and proactively reject applications that conflict with prior Irish trademarks or prior EU trademarks (as they are automatically valid in Ireland).
UK Trademark Search: Although the UK has left the EU, its economic and trade ties with Ireland are extremely close. To prevent your brand from being blocked in important related markets, it is recommended to also search the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) database.
An Irish national trademark can serve as a “prior right” to prevent the effectiveness of a later-applied, potentially confusing EU trademark in Ireland.
