European Union Intellectual Property Office

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), formerly known as the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), is responsible for managing the registration of the EU trade mark and the registered Community design. Content in the “Law & Practice” section includes the regulations that govern the EU trade mark system as well as the EU directive approximating the laws of the EU Member States relating to trade marks; international treaties; EUIPO’s Official Journal, and decisions and communications of the Executive Director. There is also a search facility for EUIPO decisions and judgments of the General Court, Court of Justice and national courts. This is found on the home page under eSearch Case Law.
