We inform our members that the EUIPO has recently detected a series of irregular attempts to replace legitimate IP representatives with fictitious ones. The Office has implemented the following measures:

• Disabling malicious IP addresses linked to the incident and enhancing domain-level blocking and filtering;
• Strengthening verification protocols before processing such requests;
• Reversing fraudulent changes and allowing representatives to request reinstatement proactively.

Representatives are advised by the EUIPO to regularly monitor their User Areas to verify the communications received and are encouraged to review their account security settings and stay vigilant.
