EUIPO and UANIPIO welcome the integration of Ukraine’s trade marks into TMview

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UANIPIO) have successfully collaborated to make UANIPIO’s trade mark data available in TMview.

In the margins of the Liaison Meeting on Cooperation, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UANIPIO), together with EU National IP Offices, announced the go-live of UANIPIO’s trade mark data in TMview as of 22 October 2025. On this occasion, Mr João Negrão, the Executive Director of the EUIPO welcomed Ms Olena Orliuk, Director of UANIPIO, for her first official visit to the EUIPO headquarters.

This milestone marks a significant step in Ukraine’s integration into the European Union Intellectual Property Network (EUIPN), strengthening international cooperation by enhancing market transparency and accessibility of trade mark information of Ukraine.

By joining TMview, Ukraine contributes to a more unified global platform, enabling users worldwide to search and access its trade mark data more efficiently. This supports businesses and rights holders in managing and protecting their intellectual property (IP) across borders. The integration of nearly 600,000 trade marks from UANIPIO expands TMview’s database, now comprising over 134 million trade marks from 80 participating IP offices globally.

UANIPIO’s inclusion in TMview has been completed under the aegis of the EU-funded EU4IP project, which supports Ukraine in aligning its intellectual property framework with EU standards. Through this collaboration, the EUIPO promotes transparency, accessibility, and digital cooperation in the region.

The partnership is further reinforced by the EUIPO’s Flagship Tools IP Alliance, an initiative aimed at raising awareness and improving the use of digital IP tools worldwide. A key focus is supporting businesses, particularly SMEs, through enhanced services that help them register, manage, and enforce IP rights. This collaboration fosters innovation, economic growth, and Ukraine’s integration into the broader EU IP framework.

TMview, one of the EUIPO’s flagship tools, offers free access to trade mark data and underscores the EUIPO´s commitment to global IP digitalisation and market transparency. Since its launch on 13 April 2010, users have performed over 148 million searches, with frequent visitors from Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United States.

The EUIPO supports the Ukrainian IP community through a comprehensive cooperation framework. This includes enforcing EU sanctions against Russia in collaboration with EU institutions and implementing the 2024-2025 Work Plan under the Memorandum of Understanding. In addition, the EUIPO manages the EU-funded EU4IP project to support Ukrainian IP authorities in the EU accession process and the expansion of the SME fund to support Ukrainian SMEs.
