2025 EUIPO Examination Guidelines now available in 23 Official EU languages

The Office is pleased to announce that the EUIPO Trade mark and Design Examination Guidelines published on 1 May 2025 are now available in 23 Official EU languages.

This edition reflects changes required under phase I of the Designs legislative reform, as set out in Regulation (EU) 2024/2822, which entered into force on 1 May 2025.

The EUIPO guidelines for examination consist of Trade Mark Guidelines and Design Guidelines and a section of shared parts that apply to both. The shared parts were revised as a result of the Designs legislative reform. Consequently, the same date of entry into force applies to both the Design and the Trade Mark Guidelines (01/05/2025). However, there were no changes of practice in the area of trade marks in this edition.
