The Macedonian Intellectual Property Office recently made its trademark and industrial design data (33,580 trademark and 973 industrial design applications and registrations) available to the Global Brand Database and the Global Design Database, World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) trademark and design search platforms.

There are now 45 national offices contributing data on more than 37.2 million trademarks to the Global Brand Database, and 13 offices contributing data on more than 5.3 million industrial designs to the Global Design Database.
