GET
Retrieve Jurisdiction
Credits: 0.

Overview

Returns a single jurisdiction record. For regional jurisdictions like the EU, the response includes the member jurisdictions. For Madrid Protocol members, the WIPO contracting party code is included so you can map between national filings and Madrid designations. Member states of a regional right are retrievable in their own right, including states that have no national register and are not Madrid contracting parties themselves. NL, BE and LU (Benelux members) and MT (an EU member that is not a Madrid party) all return scope_type: "national", madrid_member: false, wipo_contracting_party_code: null and office_status: "not_covered". That status is structural, not a gap in the roadmap for NL, BE and LU: BOIP (ST.3 BX) is the register for all three, so there is no Dutch, Belgian or Luxembourg national register to connect. The same holds for the OAPI member states, whose register is OAPI (OA). Malta is the one exception in this group: it has a national register, and Signa does not connect to it yet. Membership is carried by the regional row rather than by the member: GET /v1/jurisdictions/BX lists ["BE", "LU", "NL"], and GET /v1/jurisdictions/NL returns member_jurisdictions: null.
On search, jurisdictions=NL matches rights protecting the Netherlands, which includes EU trade marks and Benelux rights. jurisdictions=BX matches Benelux rights only and excludes EU trade marks, so a Benelux clearance should request ["BX", "EU"] or use Screening. See Offices and jurisdictions.
