As part of the EUIPO’s digital transformation programmes (particularly the Digital Evolution Programme), the Office has recently launched its first in-house image search tool, made available via eSearch plus.

The Office is also working to implement it in its flagship tools, TMview and Designview, to let users search by image in the world’s largest trade mark and design databases. The EUIPO will also offer the service to other IP Offices in the European Union Intellectual Property Network (EUIPN) to integrate this functionality with their own system.
