As EUIPO navigates volatile filing environment, research project aims to measure performance and user sentiment

This month, the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) published its 2016 Annual Report, which noted that demand for European trademarks and designs is expected to be volatile going forward. This comes at a time when the office has experienced a significant and growing workload, and is wrestling with a new financial reality. Against this backdrop, filers are being invited to participate in World Trademark Review’s annual EUIPO user survey.
