Online access to CTM file is the new web tool providing access to CTM file documents online free of charge. CTM files generally contain all correspondence exchanged between the OHIM and the CTM owner and/or its representative.

The access to documents will be subject to the same legal constraints currently applied to the inspection of files procedure at the Office, namely Article 84 CTMR and Rule 88 IR: confidential documents and documents relating to non published Community Trademark applications are not publicly viewable. However, they might be consulted by the owner or its representative via My Page.

The system makes available online new publicly documents in an average of two working days after being received by the OHIM.

Online access to CTM files is accessible via CTM-ONLINE.

Only the CTM file of one specific CTM may be displayed. This new option is available by clicking on the icon in the detailed page of the CTM retrieved.

All documents appear in several folders with a specific title. Document coordinates like date of reception, language and number of pages are displayed for each document.

The document coordinates are indicated by the OHIM and correspond to the internal practice of the OHIM. Please click here to get further information regarding the document coordinates practice.
Document can be displayed one by one clicking on icon. The documents are opened as PDF documents that can be saved locally. This functionality requires the installation of PDF reader.

We believe that this tool will be very helpful for all users.
