Euroclass becomes TMclass
The global classification tool Euroclass has changed its name to TMclass. The tool was developed as part of EUIPO’s Cooperation Fund and Convergence Programme initiatives. The rebranding decision underlines the growing importance of TMclass as a true global IP resource, which includes access to the databases of EU national IP offices and other major IP offices, including the USPTO and Japanese Patent Office (JPO). TMclass is an online tool based on the Nice Classification system that helps users correctly classify goods and services when filing a trade mark. It allows users to search for terms in any of the 24 languages available. TMclass can also be used to verify lists of terms to check if they are acceptable to any of the participating IP offices. Additionally, the tool translates equivalent goods and services terms into all available languages.
TMclass is available free online to all users at here.
