As of 11 November 2013, the Greek Ministry for Development and Competiveness (GGE) and the Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office (OMPIC) have made their trade mark data available to the TMview search tool.
The integration of OMPIC is a concrete result of the collaboration between OMPIC and OHIM established after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in June 2013 as part of OHIM’s International Cooperation programme.
In terms of GGE, it is the outcome of the Cooperation Fund programme managed by OHIM in collaboration with its EU partners. With GGE on board, the integration of all EU offices in TMview is complete.
This last extension brings the total number of offices participating in TMview to 32 and with the addition of nearly 230.000 Greek trade marks and almost 150.000 Moroccan trade marks, TMview now provides information and access to about 13.2 million trade marks in total.
Since the introduction of TMview on 13 April 2010, the tool has served more than 4.8 million searches from 203 different countries, with users from Spain, Germany and Italy among the most frequent visitors.
