🇫🇷 France · Trademark & IP

Trademark registration, patents, copyright, official IP offices, and filing costs.

Industrial property in France is handled by INPI, which registers trademarks, patents and designs; EU-wide trademark and design protection is available through the EUIPO.

• French trademarks, patents and designs are filed online with INPI.
• An EU trademark (EUTM) registered at EUIPO protects the mark across all EU member states.
• International protection can be extended via WIPO's Madrid (trademarks) and PCT (patents) systems.
