Provided there are no oppositions or significant issues, a general estimate for the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to approve a trademark application is around 6 to 12 months from the date of application. This timeframe includes the examination process, publication for opposition (which lasts three months), and subsequent finalization of the registration process. However, it's important to note that actual processing times can vary based on factors such as the workload of the office, the complexity of the application, and any potential delays in providing required documentation or responses.
