On the 25th August 2014, the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) reported the integrations of CIPO – OPIC (Canadian Intellectual Property Office / Office de la propriété intellectuelle du Canada) and NIPO (Patentstyret, Norwegian Industrial Property Office) into TMclass.
TMclass, a ‘Classification of Goods and Services tool’ developed by OHIM, assists trademark applicants to search for and classify Goods and Services (terms) and also facilitates the translation, into all EU languages, of the full list of Goods and Services and verifies if those terms appear in the classification databases of the relative Participating Offices.
The TMclass tool now comprises a total of 39 national and regional IP Offices, including OHIM, and offers users the opportunity to search and translate terms to and from any of the 29 available languages, including Norwegian.
