News from OHIM: TMview, classification and annual report for 2010

"A busy few days at OHIM..."

TMview

On its website OHIM informs its users that France has now also joined TMview. This latest addition brings the total number of offices contributing data to TMview to 14: OHIM, WIPO, the UK, Czech Republic, Italy, Benelux, Portugal, Denmark, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Bulgaria and now France.  TMview went live about one year ago and had about 230 000 visitors from around 150 different countries during this time.  If you have yet not used it, please have a look here.

Classification

OHIM also reports on significant progress on two cooperation projects related to classification with three new national offices (Lithuania, Estonia and Greece) having joined the EuroClass project. The harmonised database project, “which is regarded as the next step in cooperation in classification, with the goal of creating a database of agreed terms and also a common classification practice” has also welcomed its first non-English partner: Sweden. More information can be found here.

Annual Report for 2010

Last but not least, OHIM recently also published its annual report for 2010, which can be perused by clicking here. If you are still wondering whether you should have a look at it, “as well as the usual range of statistics, the report also includes a six-minute video summary, a video message from the President, and interviews with senior staff and many of our stakeholders including national IP offices and user representatives.”  Well worth a look and listen.
