🇳🇱 Netherlands · Trademark & IP
Trademark registration, patents, copyright, official IP offices, and filing costs.
Trademarks and designs are registered for the Benelux territory with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP); EU-wide protection is available through the EUIPO.
- There is no national Dutch-only trademark; the Benelux trademark (via BOIP) is the base level.
- An EU trademark (EUTM) at the EUIPO protects the mark across all EU member states.
- International protection can be extended via WIPO's Madrid (trademarks) and PCT (patents) systems.
