European Cooperation: CTI Data Quality Validator in Lithuania

7 Sep 2020 02:01 PM

The State Patent Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania (VPB) has implemented the CTI Data Quality Validator (DQV) as part of the “Major Improvements to TMview and DesignView” project.

The DQV is a set of dashboards, developed in conjunction with the Digital Transformation Department of the EUIPO, which gives a real-time view of the data quality of trade marks and designs in each IP office. It allows IP offices to take a more proactive role in improving the data quality of their registrations, and in turn, those in TMview and DesignView.

The Lithuanian office is the first IP office to implement the DQV, with more implementations expected in the future, including in Malta, Estonia, Spain, Poland, and Greece.

EUIPO and its stakeholders are collaborating on eight major European Cooperation Projects. These projects aim to benefit users across the EU by providing modern, state-of-the-art tools and services for intellectual property offices.
