Every accepted EU trade mark application is published in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin. From that day, anyone with an earlier similar mark has three months to oppose it. Sentin reads the week's publications and compares every word mark against every other word mark in the same class with the same scorer it uses for its customers. Below: the closest pairs filed by different applicants. "Close" is a similarity score, not a legal opinion.

Logos that look alike
The same idea for figurative marks: every logo published this week in these classes is compared with every other by the image model Sentin uses for its customers, and the closest candidates are then judged by its vision model, which ignores lettering and drawing style and looks for a shared concept. Percentages are visual similarity, not a legal opinion.

Published 10 September 2026 and 7 September 2026 · opposition open until 10 December 2026 / 7 December 2026
The logos share a stylized eye motif but execute it with different internal details and overall style, which could lead a consumer to associate the brands.

The logos share a stacked slanted bars motif. While the number of bars and their specific length progression differ, the core visual concept of parallel, slanted, and vertically arranged bar shapes is very similar.

EUIPO published 1,615 trade mark applications this week in the classes most start-ups file in (class 9: 898, class 35: 778, class 41: 519, class 42: 610).
6 pairs filed by different applicants that look close to me:
• VERTIGO ↔ VERTICO (class 35, 98% similar)
• ECOVERZUM ↔ ECOVERSE (class 42, 92% similar)
• MagiQ ↔ Magic G (class 9, 89% similar)
• FriendsTV ↔ friends (class 9, 88% similar)
• AVILIA ↔ AV / OLA (class 35, 87% similar)
• HITGuard ↔ FitGuard (class 9, 87% similar)
Each has a 3-month opposition window running from its publication date. Odds are neither applicant knows about the other.
Logos too: 2 pairs of figurative marks from different applicants that look alike (88%, 88% visual similarity). Side by side on the page.
