What one EUIPO record holds: mark type, Nice classes, owner, oppositions, renewals
A trade mark file opens with identity and clock: application number, filing date, date received, registration date, expiry date, the current status date, the applicant's own reference, and the first and second language of the file. Status is a controlled list, not free text - application filed, under examination, published, opposed, refused, withdrawn, registration pending, registered, appeal pending, cancelled, expired, surrendered.
Then the mark itself. Type of mark comes from a fixed vocabulary: word, figurative, three-dimensional shape, colour, sound, motion, multimedia, hologram, pattern, position, olfactory and other. Kind separates individual marks from collective and certification marks, basis separates a direct filing from an international registration designating the EU, and a flag records any claim to acquired distinctiveness. Figurative marks carry Vienna codes for their graphic elements, the representation arrives as full image plus thumbnail, and there are slots for sound, video and 3D models.
Goods and services sit under Nice class numbers with their full wording, translated into every official EU language, so one class-12 bicycle list exists in twenty-three parallel versions. Around it sit the parties and the procedure: applicant with postal address, nationality, legal form, company size and activity sector; representative with an office number and a kind such as lawyer or association; opposition start and end dates; publication entries with a bulletin number and a section code such as A.1 for the application or B.1 for the registration; priority; seniority naming the earlier national right by country, number and filing date; oppositions with case number, grounds and opponent; cancellations, appeals, decisions with their PDF, recordals, renewals and a dated event trail.
A design file swaps the mark for the drawing. It carries a Locarno class, a product indication phrased in every official EU language current at publication, the designer's name or an entry recording a waiver of the right to be cited, a representation means of static, video or three-dimensional, and its views, protected and non-protected kept apart. Design status has its own list: registered and fully published, registered and subject to deferment, expiring, lapsed, surrendered, declared invalid, invalidity pending, lack of effects.
