Trademark registration cost in 2026 – EUIPO and Poland

Trademark registration cost in 2026 – EUIPO and Poland

Trademark registration costs in 2026 primarily depends on the goods/services covered (and the number of Nice classes) and the territory of protection, such as Poland via the UPRP or the entire EU via the EUIPO.

This guide breaks down official fees for Polish Patent Office (UPRP) and EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) filings, plus patent attorney pricing and strategies to reduce “trademark registration costs.” Optimizing your Nice class list and filing strategy can significantly lower trademark application costs.

UPRP trademark fees in 2026 in Poland

Polish companies often file trademarks with the Polish Patent Office (UPRP) for nationwide protection in Poland only. Fees scale with Nice classes, so precise goods/services lists directly impact total trademark registration costs in Poland.

Official UPRP fees

Filing stage:

• 450 PLN (paper) or 400 PLN (electronic) for 1 class;
• 120 PLN per each additional class.

Registration stage:

• 90 PLN publication fee
• 400 PLN per each class – for 10-year protection.

If no office action nor opposition occurs during the trademark application proceedings, the publication and 10-year protection fees are due about 6 months after filing.

EUIPO EU trademark costs

EUIPO registration provides uniform protection across all 27 EU member states, making it ideal for expansion. Fees are upfront, covering filing, examination, registration, and first 10 years – but fully non-refundable if the registration of the filed trademark is refused.

Official EUIPO fees

• 850 EUR for 1 Nice class.
• + 50 EUR for the second class.
• + 150 EUR per class beyond the second

Trademark attorney fees and pricing

You can file trademarks independently, but professionals like trademark attorneys optimize strategies (e.g., word mark vs. logo), draft compliant Nice lists, and minimize refusal risks – potentially saving on “trademark filing costs.”

Attorney fees vary by scope: classes, mark variants, prior searches, and office correspondence. Expect individualized trademark application pricing tailored to your brand. Add 17 PLN stamp duty for powers of attorney at UPRP.

Total trademark registration cost = official fees + stamp duty + attorney’s service fees.

Cutting costs: SME Fund reimbursements in 2026

The EUIPO’s SME Fund 2026, launched February 2, offers reimbursements for SMEs: 75% of national (e.g., UPRP) or EUIPO fees (up to 700 EUR max) and 50% for international (WIPO) filings. Apply before filing your trademark to qualify – pay upfront, then claim refund.

Early application is key, as funds are first-come, first-served until December 2026 or exhaustion.
