No trademark for Sagrada
9 December 2025
The church foundation established in 1895 to promote the construction of Barcelona’s famous Sagrada Familia has been denied a European trademark registration for the name Sagrada Familia covering various souvenirs.
According to the EUIPO, Sagrada Familia lacks distinctiveness. The public immediately understands the name as a reference to the well-known basilica. The term is descriptive of the nature and origin of the goods and cannot function as a trademark.
