European 75% subsidy for Trademark 2026

European 75% subsidy for Trademark 2026

Do you have a small or medium-sized enterprise?

If you have a small or medium-sized enterprise in Greece or in any country of the European Union, the EUIPO gives you the opportunity to register your brand and your rights at a significantly reduced cost.

The programme is implemented by the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) and subsidises part of the official fees for:


  • National trademarks

  • European trademarks

  • International registrations (under conditions)

  • Industrial designs and models

  • Patents

  • Plant varieties


The subsidy applies exclusively to the official fees of the organisations and is refunded after the completion of the procedure.

Who can join?


The SME Fund is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises established in the European Union. Companies of every form are included, as well as the self-employed, provided that they have an active professional activity.

Medium-sized enterprise


  • Fewer than 250 employees

  • Annual turnover of up to 50 million euros
    or

  • Total annual balance sheet of up to 43 million euros


Small enterprise

  • Fewer than 50 employees

  • Annual turnover of up to 10 million euros
    or

  • Total annual balance sheet of up to 10 million euros


Micro enterprise

  • Fewer than 10 employees

  • Annual turnover of up to 2 million euros
    or

  • Total annual balance sheet of up to 2 million euros


Why should you do it?


Registering a mark is not a routine procedure. It is a legal shield for your business. It protects you from copying, gives you exclusive rights of use and strengthens your commercial value.

The SME Fund 2026 allows you to make this move with reduced financial risk.

How can we help you?


We handle:

  • The check of eligibility conditions

  • The submission of the voucher application for European marks, free of charge

  • The correct selection of classes and registration strategy

  • The drafting and filing of the file

  • The monitoring of the procedure


The subsidy covers the official fees. However, proper preparation is what ensures that the registration will be substantive and strategically sound.

If you are thinking of protecting your brand within 2026, this is the ideal moment to start. Applications are approved on a first-come, first-served basis and the available funds are exhausted every year.
