## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## EUIPO Trademark Search — TMview & eSearch

Search the **European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)** trademark
database and the broader **TMview** network (DE, FR, IT, ES, BX, NL, GB, and
35+ other EU/EEA registries) by mark name. Get clean, structured JSON for
every match — application number, mark type, applicant, Nice classes, status
and dates — ready to load into your brand-protection workflow.

This actor uses the **TMview public search backend** at `tmdn.org`
(`/tmview/*` is explicitly Allowed in TMview's robots.txt) and is rate-limited
to two requests per second with a polite user agent.

### Buyer use cases

- **Brand protection monitoring** — watch for newly filed marks that
  conflict with your portfolio across all EU offices in one query.
- **Trademark clearance searches** — confirm a candidate brand name is free
  in EUIPO + national registries before filing.
- **Competitor brand portfolio analysis** — pull every mark owned by a
  named applicant to see their IP footprint and product roadmap clues.
- **M&A IP due diligence** — extract a target company's filed and
  registered marks (with Nice classes, status, expiration) into a single
  spreadsheet for the data room.

SEO keywords: **EUIPO search**, **EU trademark API**, **TMview API**,
**trademark database**, **brand protection**, **EUTM lookup**, **Nice
classification search**, **trademark clearance**, **CTM search**.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `query` | string (required) | Mark name to search for (free text). |
| `offices` | array of ISO codes | TM offices to search. `EM` = EUIPO, `DE` = Germany, `FR` = France, etc. Defaults to `["EM"]`. |
| `niceClasses` | array of integers 1–45 | Filter by Nice class. Empty = all classes. |
| `status` | enum | `Registered`, `Filed`, `Opposed`, `Refused`, `Expired`, or empty for all. |
| `maxResults` | integer 1–1000 | Hard cap on trademarks returned. Defaults to 25. |

### Output

Every dataset item is one trademark record with this shape:

```json
{
  "application_number": "016905961",
  "office": "EM",
  "mark_name": "APPLE",
  "mark_type": "Word",
  "applicant_name": "Apple Inc.",
  "applicant_country": "US",
  "application_date": "2017-06-22",
  "registration_date": "2017-12-19",
  "status": "Registered",
  "nice_classes": [39, 42],
  "image_url": null,
  "source_url": "https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/get-detail?st13=EM500000016905961",
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-28T12:00:00Z"
}
````

`image_url` is `null` for word marks and a TMview image URL for figurative,
colour, 3D and other visual marks. `applicant_country` is the applicant
nationality (ISO country code) — never a street address.

### What this actor does NOT collect

This actor is built for legitimate brand-protection and competitive-intel
workflows. It deliberately **excludes** the following fields even when the
upstream registry exposes them:

- Applicant email addresses
- Applicant phone numbers
- Applicant street / city / postcode (only the ISO country code is included)
- Representative / agent contact information

If you need the full registry record including correspondence address,
use the EUIPO official portal directly.

### Compliance

- Polite `User-Agent` identifies the bot, with `From:` and
  `X-Bot-Identity` headers.
- Rate limited to **≤ 2 requests/second** to upstream services.
- Honours `robots.txt` for TMview at runtime; halts and reports if the
  endpoint becomes disallowed.
- All requests target the public TMview search backend; we do not access
  EUIPO `/eSearch/` (which is robots-disallowed).

### Sample Output
