Starting questionHow does trademark and design data from a European register get straight into a workflow with AI agents instead of through a browser?
What we built
We built a server across eleven programming interfaces of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), with 71 operations.
It strictly separates anonymous access by the application from access with the user's consent. Consented access is needed for one's own portfolio, the mailbox and filings.
What it means for business architecture
Which authorisation model applies is part of every data source. Fetching public and personal data through the same route blurs accountability.
Learnings
- Catalogue and reality differ. One interface is in operation but not listed.
- Read and write access need separate approvals.
- A sandbox with integration tests comes before production access.
