History
EUIPO was called The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) until 2016-03-23.
OHIM had some nice programs like the
- EURONICE - European, mostly NICE compliant, product categorisation scheme in 10 languages. A standardised way of arranging product groups
- EUROACE is a database with descriptions of goods and services that are immediately accepted by the office.
These have now been obsoleted by EUROCLASS
