The office is currently in the process of upgrading and migrating to Linux it’s Trademark and Design View systems. These systems were originally developed in partnership with the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) as is the upgrade and migration.

The new servers may be live at the time of commencement of this contract or shortly thereafter. Once live, support, maintenance and potential future development of the View systems will become part of this contract.
