Key adjustments covered by the upgrade

 The recent Markify data upgrade for the WIPO database introduced significant enhancements aimed at improving data depth, accessibility, and usability for users. Key adjustments include:

• Expanded Data Sets: The WIPO original source data has been enriched with additional trademark details from national databases, enabling users to analyze a more comprehensive set of records.
• Integrated National Records: Links between national records and WIPO records have been established, providing users with seamless access to local trademark details. This reduces the time spent on manual cross-checking and ensures data consistency.
• Opposition Rule Transparency: Each designation now includes detailed opposition rules, helping users better understand potential conflicts and deadlines in specific jurisdictions.
• Enhanced Data Visualization: Updates to the Markify full record details page make it easier to navigate and understand complex trademark information, allowing users to make informed decisions more quickly.
