The UK Intellectual Property Office has joined the Similarity tool.
Similarity is a common database of comparisons of goods and services that allows users to assess whether given goods or services are considered similar or dissimilar – and to what degree – according to the practice of the participating IP offices. Similarity benefits users by bringing more transparency to the decision-taking process of EU national offices and OHIM. Similarity also improves the predictability of opposition decisions.
With this new integration, Similarity integrates information from 11 European IP Offices into one single platform.
