Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Benelux?

Benelux is a trademark union that includes Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. To register a trademark in any of these countries, the application must be filed through the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property or BOIP and one single filing provides protection in all three member states.

Since Benelux countries are part of the European Union, European Union Trademarks or EUTM are also valid in this territory.

Benelux is a member of the Madrid Protocol, which means you can extend an international trademark application to Benelux via the Madrid System. At iGERENT, we offer professional services for filing trademarks through the Madrid System to simplify this process.

Benelux operates under a first-to-file system. This means you must register your trademark to secure legal rights. While well-known unregistered trademarks may enjoy limited protection in rare cases, registration is the best way to ensure enforceability and avoid disputes.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Benelux?

"On average, trademark registration in Benelux takes around 4 months, assuming there are no objections or oppositions.

This timeline covers the full process from filing to registration for straightforward applications. However, the actual duration may vary depending on factors like:

  • Office workload

  • Completeness of the application

  • Any oppositions from third parties

At iGERENT, we closely monitor every step of your application and keep you informed throughout, helping avoid unnecessary delays."

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Benelux is Completed?

After you file your application, it’s published in the Trademarks Register for a two-month opposition period, giving third parties the chance to object based on earlier rights. Simultaneously, the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) carries out a substantive examination to make sure your application complies with all legal requirements before granting registration.

Trademarks registered in Benelux are valid for 10 years from the date of registration. They can be renewed indefinitely, in 10-year increments.

You can submit a renewal request as early as 6 months before the expiration date, or during the 6-month grace period after it expires (with additional late fees). Renewing on time helps you maintain continuous protection and avoid unnecessary risks.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Benelux?

Yes, if someone tries to register a trademark that’s similar to yours, especially for related goods or services, you may file an opposition based on likelihood of confusion.

Oppositions must be filed during the official two-month publication period, and your chances of success will depend on factors like similarity, prior use, and distinctiveness. Each case is assessed individually, so having expert support can make a big difference.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Benelux?

No, you don’t need to prove use of your trademark before registering it in Benelux. However, if the BOIP questions your trademark’s distinctiveness, evidence of prior use can strengthen your case and help avoid objections. If your trademark is not put to genuine use within five (5) years of registration, it may be vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. This means a third party could request its removal from the register, potentially leaving your brand unprotected.

How Can I Register a Three-Dimensional (3D) Trademark in Benelux?

Benelux allows the registration of three-dimensional (3D) trademarks, which cover unique product shapes, containers, or packaging that help identify your brand.

To register a 3D mark, the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) requires clear images of the object from all relevant angles: front, back, top, bottom, and sides. Keep in mind: the shape must be distinctive and not purely functional.
