Madrid Monitor Help

Madrid Monitor is a newfangled serve provided by WIPO combining the search, WIPO Gazette, Madrid E-alert and Madrid Realtime condition tools into a single, simple tool. The old tools will remain available while we gather your feedback on the new cock, but hopefully you will find the new, combined overture easier to use to find and monitor all data associated with Madrid international brand registrations .
Video tutorials are available to help you learn about all the features available in Madrid Monitor .

Overview

The page is divided into three tabs :

  1. The search tab is your basic interface to find records of interest. It has four options: The simple Search (the default), advanced search, realtime search, and image search.
  2. Gazette is the official publication of the Madrid System. Every week the International Bureau publishes data regarding new international registrations, renewals, subsequent designations and modifications affecting existing international registrations. Note that the same information should be available by searching, which is updated daily, but the gazette provides an easy way to see all the official information published by WIPO each week.
  3. Support contains general information and this help file to help you use this system.

Search

You ‘ll notice that each clock you enter a fresh search term or filter, both the number in the Search Results sphere and the numbers shown in the Filters area are immediately updated to reflect your change, allowing you to cursorily narrow your search to particular areas of interest, or position trends and correlations you might have missed .
Each area of the foliate contains a small aid icon to link you immediately to details specifically about that area, with in-depth explanations of the contents and functionality provided. If you run into any problems, or have questions not addressed in this avail file or the FAQ, do n’t hesitate to contact us with your question .

Simple Search

Simply enter the terms you are looking for, and the system will mechanically determine what kind of search you are performing. As you type, possible match terms will be suggested, and which fields you are searching in will be shown below your term. If you want to specify the airfield you want to search in rather of relying on automatic survival, just select the playing 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, fair press the ‘search ‘ release to perform your search .

  • If you want to search for an exact phrase, surround your term in quotes. e.g. “world intellectual”
  • You can use more advanced operators like boolean logic, proximity and range operators if you surround your term with parentheses ‘()’ to group them together. e.g. (world NOT intellectual)
  • 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.

Advanced Search

The advanced search option allows for more complicate searches in more fields than the simpleton research area. Each field supports the same fit of operators and wildcards, and provides automatic rifle suggestions for terms that may match what you are typing. Each class in the search area contains several fields by default, and a drop-down menu that allows you to select from extra, less normally used, fields. For more specific information about the specific search capabilities of each area, see the serve for each individual area : Numbers, Mark, Name, Date, Class, Country and early .

Realtime Search

Data searched via the Simple and Advanced search options are merely update once per day. For most purposes, this will give you all the data you need, but if you want to get the latest, most up-to-date data associated with your registration, check on its advance through the interrogation work, or search for data not so far inscribed in the Madrid Register, use the real-time status option .

Image Search

note : See the image search demonstration video .
The persona search have allows you to rank the results of your search by their ocular similarity to an visualize you specify. You may, of course, use an image as your sole search term, frankincense ranking the entire collection of images by their similarity to your reference image, but the sort of the millions of images in our collection may take a few seconds to work .
Filtering by picture is broken down into three steps :

  1. First, specify an image to compare to. You can do this by either:
    • Click the browse button and select an image file from your local computer. Please note that we can only analyze JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG files
    • Drag an image from your desktop or another browser window directly into the image filter.
    • Drag an image from your result set directly into the image filter to use an image already in the database as your source image

    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 delete button to remove the current image and subsequently select another.

  2. 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
    • Concept 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.
    • Shape 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.
    • Color 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.
    • Composite 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.

    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.

  3. Thirdly, you may (optionally) select a type or types of image to search against.
    • Verbal 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.
    • Nonverbal 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.
    • Combined This will match images associated with records that are determined to have both a textual and non-textual element.

    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.

After completing these three steps, click the percolate button, and your results will be sorted according to their ocular similarity to your source picture. This is most effective if you choose the Grid view from your display options so you can well page through bombastic sets of results to see if any records are of sake .

Operators / Search Syntax

In Madrid Monitor, each question is divided into terms and operators. Terms can either be one words ( e.g. syringe ) or a multiple words surrounded by quotes ( e.g. “ hypodermic acerate leaf ” ). Terms can then be modified or combined in concert to perform a more complex question using one of the stick to types of operators :

  • Boolean operators — AND, OR, NOT — are simple logical operations to combine terms. Use AND between to terms to find records containing both terms, OR between to terms to find record containing either term, and NOT 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, OR will be assumed. Note that if you want a multi-word phrase instead of two separate terms, surround your words with quotes (“s).
  • Grouping operators — ( OR ) AND — 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. (dog OR cat) AND collar will search for records that contain both ‘collar’ and either ‘dog’ or ‘cat’, whereas dog OR (cat AND collar) will search for records containing either dog or both cat and collar.
  • Wildcards — *, ? — 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. te?t will match both ‘test’ and ‘text’, and text* 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. *text OR te*t.
  • Proximity operator — “~ — allows you to search for two or more words within a specific number of words of one another. If you search for “fruit juice”~10 you’ll find all records where the word ‘fruit’ occurs within 10 words of the word ‘juice’. Note that without the ~10 at the end of the term, the exact phrase ‘fruit juice’ will be the only valid match.
  • Fuzzy match — ~ — allows you to find records where a term is spelled similarly to the term you enter. For example, alco~ 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.
  • Range searches — [ TO ] — 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. [1012222 TO 1012235] 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.
    Note that entering date ranges is most easily done using the calendar provided and selecting the Date range option.

Stemming

If you search using stem, the system will try to match all the different forms of the term ( s ) you enter. e.g. ‘teach ‘ will besides match ‘teaches ‘ and ‘teaching ‘ .

Phonetic Search

Using the Phonetic option lets you search for terms that sound like the term you enter. e.g. Searching for coconut will match ‘koko ‘, ‘cocoa ‘, ‘choko ‘ and many others. This type of search is only available in the Mark sphere. You can identify a phonetic term in the battlefield by its MARK_P : sphere .

Number Search

The Number search area lets you search for numbers associated with each record. The fields are contained in this area are :

  1. The International Registration Number 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.
  2. The Basic number 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.
  3. The Priority Number field will search for the priority number listed in any of the priority information fields listed for the record
  4. The Gazette field searches for records that have any transaction that was published in the gazette. This should be formatted like: 2012/2.
  5. The Original Gazette field searches for only the original gazette the registration was published in, ignoring any subsequent transactions in other gazettes.
  6. The Reference Number 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 Realtime status tab of each individual record.

Mark Search

The Mark Search pill lets you search for text terms directly related to the trademark. The fields are contained in this area are :

  1. Trademark lets you search for textual elements of the mark. As you type, suggestions will pop up to help you find terms that might find a match in our database. Just to the right of the Trademark label, a menu allows you to select the type of search you want to conduct in this field.
    • Normal searches for exact matches to the term(s) you enter. You can still use wildcards and operators to modify your query if you wish, but the terms will otherwise be interpreted exactly as you have entered them.
    • Phonetic searches for terms that sound like the term(s) you enter. See the Phonetic Matching section for further details. For ease of use, this option is also shown as the Phonetic field.
    • Fuzzy searches for terms that are spelled similarly to the term(s) you enter. See the Fuzzy Matching section for further details.
    • Stemming option enables matching other forms of the term(s) you enter. See the Stemming section for further details.
  2. The Transliteration 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.
  3. The Transliteration 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
  4. Description 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.

Name Search

The Name search area lets you search for names associated with each record. The fields are contained in this area are :

  1. The Holder field will search for names contained in the holder of each record.
  2. The Representative field will search for names listed as legal representatives in each record
  3. The Prev. Holder field will search for names contained in the previous holder of each record, if the mark has been transferred.

Classification

The Classification sphere lets you search for any classifications and relate information associated with the records in our database. The types of categorization information fields available are :

  1. Nice Class contains numerical codes that describe the Goods and Services associated with the brand. You can search either directly for nice codes (i.e. ’30’) or enter terms that are contained in the official Nice classification standard (i.e. ‘coffee’). Further information on the nice classification system is available on the Nice website
  2. Goods/Services contains the actual text of the list of goods and services associated with each registration. By default, this will search all available languages (English, French and Spanish) together, but you can also select to search only particular language fields
  3. Vienna Class contains numerical codes that describe the visual appearance of the image associated with each record (if any). You can search for classifications that match descriptive terms (i.e. ‘dog’) or codes (i.e. ‘03.08’). There is a complete description of the vienna classification system available on the Vienna website.

Country Search

The Country Search area lets you search for any countries associated with each criminal record. You can enter standard state codes ( i.e. ‘AR ‘ for Argentina ) or enter the mention of the nation, and choose from the drop-down whichever country you wish ( i.e. ‘ar … Armenia ‘ ). The fields contained in this area are :

  1. Origin contains the country of origin for the record. This is usually the national office of the original applicant
  2. Designation contains countries that have been listed as affected by the record. The exact meaning of this is a complex legal issue, and you should consult the details for each record to determine its particular status.
  3. Priority contains the office of origin for any priority information associated with each record.
  4. Holder Country contains the country code of the address associated with the holder on the mark.

Other Search

The other search check lets you search for other types of information available about a phonograph record, that does n’t quite burst into one of the other categories. The fields available in this area are :

  1. Colors Claimed contains the colors claimed as separate of the scar for the record. many marks in color do not actually specifically claim each color as contribution of the punctuate, so searching for ‘red ‘ here would n’t necessarily get you all the crimson trademarks .
  2. type of crisscross contains indicators, supplied by the applicant during filing, as to the type of chump. These indicators can include any of :
    STDMIND
    Mark consists of standard characters
    SOUMARI
    Sound Mark
    COLMARI
    Mark consists exclusively of one or several colors
    THRDMAR
    Three-dimensional mark

    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 detail date of telling ( NOTDATE ), use the ‘Transaction ( telling ) ‘ plain ; for those with a finical issue go steady ( PUBDATE ), the ‘Transaction ( publication ) ‘ field ; and for those with a especial date of recordal ( REGRDAT ), the ‘Transaction ( recordal ) ‘ sphere .
    note that you can search for any combination of the three elements in any orderliness, fair use quotes ( “ ) to surround your search if you include more than one chemical element. One restriction to this is that the phrase can not contain any form of wildcard ( ‘* ‘ ) anywhere except for at the end .
    e.g. To search for total refusals of auspices with a publication date of February 1, 2012, search for : “RFNT 20120201” in the Transaction ( issue ) field. To narrow this far to merely full refusals from France on that date : “RFNT FR 20120201”. To include a wildcard to match any date in a especial year, you could use “RFNT FR 2012*”. You can besides search for a scope of dates by using a scope as the right-most terminus : “ “RFNP FR [20120201 TO 20120415]”. note that Transaction ( gazette ) will search by gazette total, not dates, so a search in that field may look like “RFNT FR [2012/17 TO 2012/19]”

Filter

The Filter area on the leave of the results page display data about the records that match your current search, and allows you to narrow your search to entirely particular categories without entering extra search terms. Each filter divides the duplicate records into categories, and lists the number of records in your search matching each category. You can use this strictly for information, or open a filter, select one or more itemss, then click the ‘filter ‘ button at the lower right to add/modify the filters applied to your results .

Madrid Monitor is updated each day as soon as that day’s transactions are made available on our ftp site. Full details are avalable on the Download Madrid Monitor update files page. This update usually occurs in the afternoon Geneva time (CET).
When viewing details of a record, what does each tab mean and which one do I need?
The Full Details tab provides all data pertaining to the International Registration under the Madrid System, while the Summary tab provides an abridged version of this data.
Under the Office tab, you can view data specific to a particular designated office. The Documents tab enables you to access certain decision documents (refusals, grants of protection) transmitted by designated IP offices. The Realtime status tab provides real time information directly from the register regarding trademark documents being processed by WIPO. Further information is available in the Realtime Status section.
What data and documents are not searchable in Madrid Monitor?
Madrid Monitor does not include the capacity to search the complete prosecution history of an International Registration made under the Madrid System. For example, it does not search the detail of all transfers of ownership; only the most recent transfer. For a complete history of all transactions associated with a particular record, use the Realtime Status tab in each record view
Can I download your entire data set for my own uses?
The complete Madrid backfile is available for a fee, but we cannot at this time provide free access to the full collection. Further information regarding downloading update files is available on the Download Madrid Monitor update files page.
I want to integrate your database into my project, do you have a public API for direct search access?
Not currently. The database is a free-of-charge public service, and to maintain quality of service for all, our terms of use specifically disallow direct automatic querying. It is possible to bookmark individual records in our system by using the URL from the link () at the upper right of each details page. You can also link directly to search results by using the ‘link to search’ link () at the top of each search result page.
