Peru has decided to use the list of terms from the harmonised database in TMclass

As of 07 May 2018 the National Institute for the Defence of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property of Peru (INDECOPI) has decided to use the list of goods and services from the harmonised database (HDB) in TMclass.

As a result, Peru is one of the first two non-EU IP offices that will use terms from HDB, one of the expected outcomes of the strategic project “Extension of tools” within EUIPO’s international cooperation projects. This project aims at extending the reach of the EUIPN’s tools beyond the EU for the benefit of global users.

With the extension of the reach of HDB to INDECOPI through TMclass, this tool now offers users the opportunity to search and translate more than 58.000 harmonised concepts among 29 IP offices.
