Client: EUIPO
Solution: Multilingual Communication Management
The launch of the case-law (Case Law eSearch) search system for the European Union Intellectual Property (EUIPO). This service is part of the initiative "Multilingual Communication Management", framed within the Strategic Plan 2020 of the agency.
Through this service, automatic translations are provided through a machine translation system, in most of the languages of the European Union, for any of the decisions taken by the EUIPO. This allows any user to access them in their own language, free of charge, easy and immediate.
