As of 23 March, the Office's name has changed to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

These changes took effect upon the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2015/2424.

The EUIPO's website, e-business applications, fee calculators and online tools have all been updated to reflect the change of name, the new trade mark fee structure and other technical changes brought about by the Regulation.

Its website address has changed to www.euipo.europa.eu.
