National and EU-wide protection

Filing for a European Union trademark from Italy is not only possible but represents a strategic choice for companies seeking uniform protection across all 27 EU member states. This offers broad coverage and simplifies the legal management and defense of the trademark across multiple jurisdictions.

Alternatively, registering an Italian trademark provides protection exclusively within national borders, making it an ideal solution for businesses with a local focus or primarily operating on the Italian market.
