II.2.4)Description of the procurement:
The EUIPO, through the Observatory, has started a collection of national key enforcement judgments related to IPRs from the EU Member States. The activity is implemented in cooperation with participating national IP offices (IPOs) in the EU Member States. It has not been possible to involve all the Member States in the activity and this situation leaves important gaps in the project. The main objective of this activity is to consolidate and expand the collection of national key enforcement judgments to cover all the Member States. For this to be achieved, the gaps need to be filled and a process for systematic updates for all Member States needs to be ensured. The provider will assist in the collection of key judgments related to the enforcement of IPRs rendered by national courts to be included in the EUIPO’s eSearch Case Law database. The main tasks of this activity include: first, providing key enforcement judgments from the Member States not participating in the project and from participating Member States that are no longer able to provide them; second, updating information on key enforcement judgments from non-participating Member States collected internally by the EUIPO.
