February 23, 2010
As of February 1, 2010, a free trademark database is available on the Latvian Patent Office’s website.
Improvements to the new database are expected in the near future. For example, trademarks, industrial designs and patents will each have their own database, which will make the research easier for IP professionals and other users.
For more information, please contact Masa Lopicic in our Balkan Regional Office.
