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.
Pairs that look close, 8 September 2026 to 14 September 2026
Published 8 September 2026 and 9 September 2026 · opposition open until 8 December 2026 / 9 December 2026
Logos that look alike
698 logos published this week in these classes were compared with each other by the image model Sentin uses for its customers; the 40 closest pairs were checked by its vision model. None of them shared a concept beyond lettering or drawing style, so there is nothing to show this week. That is the normal outcome; the ones that do get through are worth a look.

EUIPO published 1,654 trade mark applications this week in the classes most start-ups file in (class 9: 904, class 35: 826, class 41: 503, class 42: 648).
6 pairs filed by different applicants that look close to me:
• VERTIGO ↔ VERTICO (class 35, 98% similar)
• Spinmat ↔ Spina (class 9, 90% similar)
• HITGuard ↔ FitGuard (class 9, 87% similar)
• trilene ↔ Trilléon (class 35, 86% similar)
• APOLLO UFO ↔ APOLLINE AI (class 9, 84% similar)
• proclinic ↔ Reproclinic (class 35, 82% similar)
Each has a 3-month opposition window running from its publication date. Odds are neither applicant knows about the other.
