Similarity of goods and services of trade marks

We're waiting for J. Thonemann to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Sir or Madame of the EUIPO,

on the basis of informational freedom according to Directive 1049/2001, I apply for documents containing the following information:

I would like to recieve the data of the EUIPO's office practice on the similiarity of goods or services as provided through the tool https://euipo.europa.eu/sim/.

The EUIPO has gathered office practice on the question of whether a particular good or service is considered similar or dissimilar to another good or service. This data has been introduced into a tool named Similarity. Unfortunately, the data itself can currently not be accessed directly but only through individual searches. For large lists of goods and services, the tool often crashes and does not offer readable outputs.

I am explicitly not requesting the data of other member states offices. This request is limited to the data on the EUIPO's own office practice. I also do not request a physical copy but merely a digital file of the data.

Thank you and best regards,

Thonemann
