• textual,
• numeric,
• date.

Industrial property search comprises searches of:

• Trademarks

• International Trademark Registrations (HR)
• International Registrations of Industrial Designs

First, select a field you want to search from the field menu (column 1), then, select an operator from the operator menu (column 2) and finally, enter a desired search criterion in the query criteria field.

All the fields are mutually connected by a logic operator AND, each individual field allowing the entry of several different criteria connected by operator OR or AND.

Characters

1. by using (left) ALT control key on the computer keyboard and corresponding Win 1250/ANSI decimal code (table of codes).
   NOTE: When quoting decimal character codes, leading zeroes, as presented in the table of codes, have to be quoted as well. ANSI decimal codes are marked green, meaning that the quotation thereof by typing or copying requires change of the code page in the Windows environment, or selection of Western European values in the View->Encoding Menu available on the Internet Explorer.
2. by copying a representation of a desired specific character (table of codes) in the search criteria field.

Examples of quoting specific characters in query forms:

International trademark registrations the verbal element of which contains letter t: Verbal element LIKE *t* A result of the quoted search will contain the following verbal names:   Ctte d'Or LANCTME RHTNE-POULENC choctne All the published applications and rights relating to domestic trademarks involving KRA as applicant/holder: Holder LIKE KRA * A result of the quoted search will contain the names of the following applicants/holders:   Kra, prehrambena industrija d.d.   KRA , prehrambena industrija d.d.

The above mentioned examples show that the search is case-insensitive, meaning that irrespective of whether the search criteria is indicated in small or capital letters, the result will contain all the rights/applications meeting the content of the criteria!

Definition of patterns:
When comparing or searching character values, it is very important to define well a matching pattern.

Matching pattern characters are as follows:

?	replacing one character
*	replacing zero or several characters

Example 1:

Representative: LIKE CP*

all the representatives whose name starts with CP

Example 2:
We want to find all trademark holders involving LEK in their names. In such a case the search criteria will be:

Holder: LIKE *LEK*

The search result will include the following companies/persons:
