[https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/home].The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), headquartered in Alicante, Spain, is the official EU body administering EU trade marks, EU designs and geographical indications across all 27 EU member states. It enables businesses to secure unitary IP protection with one single application, cutting cross-border registration costs significantly. It runs digital tools including eSearch Plus and TMview for public database searches, offering full online services for filing, opposition, appeal and rights enforcement. It launches SME support funds and vouchers for craft and industrial geographical indications, publishes industry reports on IP-backed financing and hosts events like the DesignEuropa Awards. In 2026, updated examination guidelines and the full rollout of the EU Design Reform entered into force. EUIPO accelerates AI governance in examination, builds cross-border IP cooperation networks, operates training hubs and a dedicated Copyright Knowledge Centre, and releases resources on legal reform, public procurement and grants, aiming to boost European innovation and improve enterprises’ ability to monetize intellectual property assets.
