As you type, possible matching terms will be suggested, and which fields you are searching in will be shown below your term. If you want to specify the field you want to search in instead of relying on automatic selection, just select the field from the list by clicking in the menu. You can select as many fields from a single category as necessary. After you've entered as many terms as you require, just press the 'search' button to perform your search.</p> <ul> <li>If you want to search for an exact phrase, surround your term in quotes. e.g. "world intellectual"</li>  <li>You can use <a class='helpLink link' href='#operators_help'>more advanced operators</a> like boolean logic, proximity and range operators if you surround your term with parentheses '()' to group them together. e.g. (world NOT intellectual)</li> <li>If you want to go back and change a term you've already entered, just click it and you can edit it to change it to something else.</li> </div> <div id='advanced_search_container_help' class='solrMainArea'> <h3>Advanced Search</h3> <p>The advanced search option allows for more complicated searches in more fields than the simple search area. Each field supports the same set of <a class='helpLink link' href='#operators_help'>operators</a> and <a class='helpLink link' href='#wildcards_help'>wildcards</a>, and provides automatic suggestions for terms that may match what you are typing. Each category in the search area contains several fields by default, and a drop-down menu that allows you to select from additional, less commonly used, fields. For more specific information about the specific search capabilities of each area, see the help for each individual area: <a class='helpLink link' href='#numbers_search_help'>Numbers</a>, <a class='helpLink link' href='#brand_search_help'>Mark</a>, <a class='helpLink link' href='#names_search_help'>Name</a>, <a class='helpLink link' href='#date_search_help'>Date</a>, <a class='helpLink link' href='#class_search_help'>Class</a>, <a class='helpLink link' href='#country_search_help'>Country</a> and <a class='helpLink link' href='#other_search_help'>Other</a>.</li> </li> </ol> </div> <div id='realtime_search_help' class='solrMainArea'> <h3>Realtime Search</h3> <p> Data searched via the Simple and Advanced search options are only updated once per day. For most purposes, this will give you all the information you need, but if you want to get the latest, most up-to-date data associated with your registration, check on its progress through the examination process, or search for information not yet inscribed in the Madrid Registe of another request, or other procedural issue. r, use the real-time status option.</p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='image_filter_help'> <h3 id='image_search_container_help'>Image Search</h3> <p>Note: See the <a class='helpLink link' href='https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2014/article_0007.html' target='_blank'>image search demo video</a>.</p> <p>The image search feature allows you to rank the results of your search by their visual similarity to an image you specify. You may, of course, use an image as your sole search term, thus ranking the entire collection of images by their similarity to your source image, but the sorting of the millions of images in our collection may take a few seconds to process.</p> <p>Filtering by image is broken down into three steps: <ol> <li>First, specify an image to compare to. You can do this by either: <ul> <li>Click the <em>browse</em> button and select an image file from your local computer. Please note that we can only analyze JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG files</li> <li>Drag an image from your desktop or another browser window directly into the image filter.</li> <li>Drag an image from your result set directly into the image filter to use an image already in the database as your source image</li> </ul> If you want to select a different image than the one you've already selected, either drag another one into the image filter, or first click the <em>delete</em> button to remove the current image and subsequently select another. </li> <li>Next, select an image comparison method. Each method has advantages and disadvantages, and works better for particular types of source images, and particular desired results. You can try each strategy and see which works best for your search <ul> <li><en>Concept</em> This method uses Artificial Intelligence to identify concepts represented in your image, and find other images which are determined by AI to contain the same concepts. Only those images which are identified as representing similar concepts will be returned, so this method will return a smaller set of results than other methods, but can provide results not otherwise possible.</li> <li><em>Shape</em> This comparison method looks only at the distribution of lines in your source image, and looks for similar images in our collection. Color is completely ignored for this type of search.</li> <li><em>Color</em> This comparison method looks only at the colors in the image, and how they are distributed in the image. It's not as effective at matching shapes as the Shape method, but is the most accurate for matching colors.</li>  <li><em>Composite</em> This option uses both color and line information in it's analysis, but since it uses both simultaneously, it's not as accurate as other options, but you may still receive interesting results.</li> </ul> Our goal in providing the different image comparison options is to allow you to customize your search to match the particular needs of the brand you are investigating. Not all images will provide useful comparison results, as all these options work best with simple shapes and designs. We will be constantly developing new and improved image analysis options as technology improves. </li> <li>Thirdly, you may (optionally) select a type or types of image to search against. <ul> <li><em>Verbal</em> These are marks that are determined to have only a textual element of some form, without being noted as having a design element. You can find any of these marks by searching in the Mark field. Note that these are only records which contain an image. If the brand is purely textual and doesn't have an associated image, this filter will not match.</li> <li><em>Nonverbal</em> This will match images that are determined to have no textual element at all, but only some form of device, shape, color, scent or sound.</li> <li><em>Combined</em> This will match images associated with records that are determined to have both a textual and non-textual element.</li>  </ul> Note that you can use the filter options in step 3 without specifying an image if you wish, but image searching is at its most effective when you combine the two types of filtering. </li> </ol> <p>After completing these three steps, click the <em>filter</em> button, and your results will be sorted according to their visual similarity to your source image. This is most effective if you choose the <em>Grid</em> view from your display options so you can easily page through large sets of results to see if any records are of interest.</p> </div>  <div class='sub_area' id='operators_help'> <h3>Operators / Search Syntax</h3> <p>In Madrid Monitor, each query is divided into terms and operators. Terms can either be single words (e.g. <em>syringe</em>) or a multiple words surrounded by quotes (e.g. <em>"hypodermic needle"</em>). Terms can then be modified or combined together to perform a more complex query using one of the following types of operators:</p> <ul> <li>Boolean operators -- <strong><term> AND, OR, NOT <term></strong> -- are simple logical operations to combine terms. Use <em>AND</em> between to terms to find records containing both terms, <em>OR</em> between to terms to find record containing either term, and <em>NOT</em> between to terms to find records containing the first term, but not the second. If you don't include an operator between two terms at all, <em>OR</em> will be assumed. Note that if you want a multi-word phrase instead of two separate terms, surround your words with quotes ("s).</li> <li>Grouping operators -- <strong>(<term> OR <term>) AND <term></strong> -- allow you to control the logical order in which operators are applied. Any group surrounded by parentheses will be treated separately, and combined with other terms as a unit. e.g. <em>(dog OR cat) AND collar</em> will search for records that contain both 'collar' and either 'dog' or 'cat', whereas <em>dog OR (cat AND collar)</em> will search for records containing either dog or both cat and collar.</li> <li id='wildcards_help'>Wildcards -- <strong><term>*, <term>?</strong> -- allow you to match single or multiple characters within words. The '?' wildcard will match any single letter in your term, and the '*' wildcard will match either 0 or multiple letters in your term. e.g. <em>te?t</em> will match both 'test' and 'text', and <em>text*</em> will match 'text', 'texts', 'texting', etc. Note that you can use the wildcards in the middle or beginning of your term as well. e.g. <em>*text</em> OR <em>te*t</em>.</li> <li>Proximity operator -- <strong>"<term> <term>"~<distance></strong> -- allows you to search for two or more words within a specific number of words of one another. If you search for <em>"fruit juice"~10</em> you'll find all records where the word 'fruit' occurs within 10 words of the word 'juice'. Note that without the <em>~10</em> at the end of the term, the exact phrase 'fruit juice' will be the only valid match.</li> <li id='fuzzy_help'>Fuzzy match -- <strong><term>~</strong> -- allows you to find records where a term is spelled similarly to the term you enter. For example, <em>alco~</em> will find 'also', 'alcoh', 'asco' and many others. By default, adding a '~' will allow for a single character of difference between your search and a matching term, but if you add ~2 to your search term, any word with only two characters of difference will match.</li> <li id='range_help'>Range searches -- <strong>[<term> TO <term>]</strong> -- let you find terms matching a range of values. Enter a range by using the 'TO' operator, and surrounding your terms with square brackets '[]'. e.g. <em>[1012222 TO 1012235]</em> in the registration number field will match any records with registration numbers between those two values, including 1012222 and 1012235. If you wish your range to not include the boundary values, use braces '{}' instead of square brackets.<br/>Note that entering date ranges is most easily done using the calendar provided and selecting the <em>Date range</em> option.</li> </ul> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='stemming_help'> <h3>Stemming</h3> <p>If you search using stemming, the system will try to match all the different forms of the term(s) you enter. e.g. 'teach' will also match 'teaches' and 'teaching'.</p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='phonetic_help'> <h3>Phonetic Search</h3> <p>Using the <em>Phonetic</em> option lets you search for terms that <strong>sound</strong> like the term you enter. e.g. Searching for <em>coco</em> will match 'koko', 'cocoa', 'choko' and many others. This type of search is only available in the <em>Mark</em> field. You can identify a phonetic term in the field by its <em>MARK_P:</em> field.</p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='numbers_search_help'> <h3>Number Search</h3> <p>The Number search area lets you search for numbers associated with each record. The fields are contained in this area are: <ol> <li>The <em>International Registration Number</em> field will search for the numbers assigned to the record at the time of publication. This is the most common reference number used to describe a particular record.</li> <li>The <em>Basic number</em> field will search for the basic registration or application number associated with each international registration. If you want to specifically search in just the basic registration or basic application fields, these options are also available.</li> <li>The <em>Priority Number</em> field will search for the priority number listed in any of the priority information fields listed for the record</li> <li>The <em>Gazette</em> field searches for records that have any transaction that was published in the gazette. This should be formatted like: 2012/2.</li> <li>The <em>Original Gazette</em> field searches for only the original gazette the registration was published in, ignoring any subsequent transactions in other gazettes.</li> <li>The <em>Reference Number</em> field will search for international marks associated with a particular internal WIPO reference number. This number is typically only of interest to the holders of marks, and can be found in the <em><a class='helpLink link' href='#realtime_help'>Realtime status</a></em> tab of each individual record.</li> </ol> </p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='text_search' style='clear: left'> <h3>Mark Search</h3> <p>The Mark Search tab lets you search for text terms directly related to the trademark.

Just to the right of the <em>Trademark</em> label, a menu allows you to select the type of search you want to conduct in this field. <ul> <li><em>Normal</em> searches for exact matches to the term(s) you enter. You can still use <a class='helpLink link' href='#wildcards_help'>wildcards</a> and <a class='helpLink link' href='#operators_help'>operators</a> to modify your query if you wish, but the terms will otherwise be interpreted exactly as you have entered them.</li> <li><em>Phonetic</em> searches for terms that sound like the term(s) you enter.

See the <a class='helpLink link' href='#fuzzy_help'>Fuzzy Matching</a> section for further details.</li> <li><em>Stemming</em> option enables matching other forms of the term(s) you enter. See the <a class='helpLink link' href='#stemming_help'>Stemming</a> section for further details.</li> </ul> </li> <li>The <em>Transliteration</em> field lets you search for any transliterated text associated with the mark. The field is optional; even if the mark was not originally submitted in a non-latin alphabet, it may not include a transliteration.</li> <li>The <em>Transliteration</em> fields lets you search for any translations of the words in the mark. This field is optional; even if the mark was not originally submitted in a different language, a translation may not exist</li> <li><em>Description</em> lets you search for text in the description of the mark. Note that many, if not most international registrations do not include any description, so only use this field if you are relatively certain it applies to the records you are looking for.</li> </ol> </p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='name_search_help'> <h3>Name Search</h3> <p>The Name search area lets you search for names associated with each record.

As you click in each field, a dialog will pop up allowing you to enter a date or date range using a calendar. Otherwise, you can type dates using the 'YYYYMMDD' format, and ranges using the 'TO' <a class='helpLink link' href='#operators_help'>operator</a>. The fields available in this area are: <ol> <li>The <em>Registration Date</em> field matches each record's registration date, if it has one. Records that are pending may not include a registration date.</li> <li>The <em>Expiration Date</em> field matches the expiration date of each record, if it has one. Records for which an expiration date is not available, or which correspond to types of records which do not expire will have no expiration date.</li> <li>The <em>Publication Date</em> field matches each record's publication date.</li> <li>The <em>Priority Date</em> field matches the date listed in any of the priority information listed for the registration.</li> </ol> </p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Though the YYYYMMDD date format is preferred, you can also use shortcuts like 'today', 'now', or other date formats like 01.Jan.2001, 2006* and others, and your query will still work.</p> </div> <div class='sub_area' id='class_search_help'> <h3>Classification</h3> <p>The Classification area lets you search for any classifications and related information associated with the records in our database.

The fields available in this area are: <ol> <li><p><em>Colors Claimed</em> contains the colors claimed as part of the mark for the record. Many marks in color do not actually specifically claim each color as part of the mark, so searching for 'red' here wouldn't necessarily get you all the red trademarks.</p></li> <li><p><em>Type of mark</em> contains indicators, supplied by the applicant during filing, as to the type of mark.

<p>There are four types of date information you can search, and each is in its own field. If you want to search for transactions in a particular gazette (GAZNO), use the 'Transaction' field; for those with a particular date of effect (REGEDAT), use the 'Transaction (effect)' field; for those with a particular date of notification (NOTDATE), use the 'Transaction (notification)' field; for those with a particular publication date (PUBDATE), the 'Transaction (publication)' field; and for those with a particular date of recordal (REGRDAT), the 'Transaction (recordal)' field.</p> <p>Note that you can search for any combination of the three elements in any order, just use quotes (") to surround your search if you include more than one element. One restriction to this is that the phrase cannot contain any form of wildcard ('*') anywhere except for at the end.</p> <p>e.g. To search for total refusals of protection with a publication date of February 1, 2012, search for: <b>"RFNT 20120201"</b> in the Transaction (publication) field. To narrow this further to just total refusals from France on that date: <b>"RFNT FR 20120201"</b>. To include a wildcard to match any date in a particular year, you could use <b>"RFNT FR 2012*"</b>. You can also search for a range of dates by using a range as the right-most term: "<b>"RFNP FR [20120201 TO 20120415]"</b>. Note that Transaction (gazette) will search by gazette number, not dates, so a search in that field may look like <b>"RFNT FR [2012/17 TO 2012/19]"</b></p> </li> </ol> </div> </div> <div class='solrMainArea' id='filter_by_help'> <h2>Filter</h2> <p>The <em>Filter</em> area on the left of the results page displays information about the records that match your current search, and allows you to narrow your search to only particular categories without entering additional search terms.

These details will explain the legal provisions that have led to this status. Click on any transaction in the history to see access full details.<br/> The full list of Nice classes, and the terms within each Nice class relevant to the designation, are also given. As limitations, cancellations, transfers, and other transactions can affect designations differently, you may notice that the list of classes and terms therein varies between designations. If there are any complex circumstances or errors in processing the history of transactions, the details of those errors will be reported to you.<br/> If the status is shown as 'Protection Granted', and the Nice classes can be reliably calculated from the list of transactions recorded, a link will be provided to download a PDF certificate of protection for your future reference. This certificate will contain the basic information of the mark, along with the summary of status and Nice classes and goods and service terms protected.<br/> <img src="../images/designation-status-pdf-link-en.jpg"/><br/><br/> <b>Note</b>: The status calculation is based on the electronic register's contents, which may be incomplete, especially for older trademarks.
