India Joins TMview

Now the Indian trademarks can also be searched on TMview as India in collaboration with European Commission has provided the database of Indian Trademark.

TMview is an online consultation tool allowing any Internet user to search, free of charge, the trademarks of all participating official trade mark Offices. It is multilingual and easy-to-use, and gives access to trade mark applications and registrations of the participating official trade mark offices in a single place.

TMview aims to be the platform for data from all 27 EU Member States in addition to the information available from the EUIPO and WIPO – in total some 8.5 Million trade marks.

As of 26 April 2017, The Indian Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) has made its trade mark data available to the TMview search tool. This successful integration is the result of the EU-INDIA Intellectual Property Cooperation (IPC-EUI) project co-funded by the European Commission and the EUIPO within the International Cooperation framework and in close collaboration with CGPDTM. This last extension brings the total number of offices participating in TMview to 57 and with the addition of more than 800,000 trade marks from India TMview now provides information and access to almost 43 million trade marks in total. Since the introduction of TMview on 13 April 2010 the tool has served more than 29 million searches from 155 different countries, with visitors from Spain, Germany and Italy among the most frequent users.

The information is provided by the trade mark offices that own the content and are responsible for its daily update.
