How trademark registration works
1. Brand details
Enter your brand name, an optional website and a short description of your goods or services. We can read your website to pre-fill the details.
2. Analysis
We recommend Nice classes from your brand and description, and run a preliminary word-mark eligibility check against the EUIPO register.
3. Mark type
Choose a word mark, a figurative (logo) mark or a combined mark. Upload a JPEG or PNG logo for figurative and combined marks.
4. Classes and checkout
Pick Malta, the EU or both, review the recommended classes and pay securely through Stripe.
5. Applicant details
After payment, provide the applicant name, email, address and entity type, with the relevant ID or company number.
6. Filing and updates
An IP lawyer files with the relevant office. Follow progress in your dashboard or through the public status lookup.
Pricing for Malta and EU trademarks
| Registration | Price | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Malta (national, IPRD) | €350 per class | Malta. Includes the €115 per class official fee. |
| EU (EUIPO) | €2,250 for up to 2 classes, then €350 per extra class | All 27 EU member states. EUIPO official fees included. |
One payment covers everything: the price includes the official IPRD and EUIPO registration fees, so you never pay the IP office separately. Official fees are VAT-exempt; Maltese VAT applies to the professional fee only. Payment is handled by Stripe.
Malta trademark or EU trademark?
Malta trademark
A national registration with the Malta Intellectual Property Office (IPRD). It protects your brand in Malta and suits businesses that only trade locally.
EU trademark
A single EUIPO registration that protects your brand across all 27 EU member states. It suits businesses that sell, or plan to sell, beyond Malta.
You can file for both in one order.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to register a trademark in Malta?
€350 per Nice class. The price is all-inclusive: it covers the official Malta IPRD registration fee (€115 per class, VAT-exempt), so you make a single payment to Rocketmark and nothing separate to the IPRD. 18% Maltese VAT applies to the professional fee only, not to official office fees.
How much does an EU trademark cost?
€2,250 for up to 2 Nice classes, plus €350 for each additional class. The price covers the official EUIPO fees (VAT-exempt), so you make a single payment to Rocketmark and nothing separate to the EUIPO. The registration covers all 27 EU member states.
Should I register in Malta, the EU, or both?
Register in Malta if you only trade in Malta. Register an EU trademark if you trade, or plan to trade, in other EU countries: one EUIPO registration covers all 27 member states. You can file for both in a single Rocketmark order.
What are Nice classes?
Nice classes are the international system of 45 categories for goods and services that every trademark application must name. Rocketmark recommends classes from your brand name, website and description, and you can adjust the selection before you pay.
Is the clearance check a guarantee that my trademark will be accepted?
No. The preliminary check scores your word mark as high, medium or low eligibility using a dictionary assessment and a search of the EUIPO register. It is indicative guidance, not legal advice, and the IP office makes the final decision.
Who files my application?
An IP lawyer prepares and files your application with the Malta IPRD and/or EUIPO on your behalf. Complex disputes or opposition strategy may still need separate counsel.
Do I need an account to start?
No. You can start the form without an account. After payment you can sign in with a magic link or one-time code to follow your application, and you can also look up a filing with your reference number and application email.
How long does registration take?
Processing times are set by the relevant IP office, not by Rocketmark. After filing you receive status updates through your dashboard as the office progresses your application.
