Quality is at the heart of the EUIPO’s priorities.
The Office is committed to improving, and facilitating, its interaction with customers.
More information on how we manage quality here: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/strategic-drivers/ipexcellence
The EUIPO uses a peer review system to improve the quality in the examination of trade marks and designs.
Following the 4-eyes principle, a second examiner first checks the application before raising an objection.
“The EUIPO is a customer-focused organisation. We always put our customers at the heart of everything we do. This initiative shows very well that this objective is met"

Help us make the cultural heritage of all Europeans available 🇪🇺!
The EUIPO and @Europeanaeu are organising the Out-of-commerce Works Portal Datathon event to digitise our cultural heritage.
European libraries, archives and museums hold millions of out-of-commerce works in their collection.
Even though the current commercial value for such works is low, they can be very valuable for research or education purposes. Or simply entertaining and fascinating.
Out-of-commerce works are still protected by copyright but no longer -or have never been- commercially available.
The EUIPO Out-of-Commerce Works Portal makes these works available and helps rights holders to identify them https://euipo.europa.eu/out-of-commerce
There are million of internet domain names worldwide and many of them are misused for IP-infringing activities.
To help better understand the domain name ecosystem, protect IP owners and consumers, we've published a series of good practices https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/observatory/news/-/action/view/8601160 #InternetDay
