Experience of using PAVIS PROMA® has shown that user navigation helps identify essential details.
For registration or conflict proceedings, for example, you can look to see whether any decisions have already been made on the trade mark word being applied for, on the opposition trade mark or on individual word elements.
There are two different "search paths" offering numerous search criteria. You can look for trade mark words, technical terms or file references and legal provisions using the "full text search". Or you can look for leading classes for applications, types of mark, decision results, lists of goods and services, etc. using the "field search".
Generally speaking, the user's choice of search terms and their links are virtually limitless.
