How accessible this service is
This online service is only partially compliant with the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services 306/2019, due to the non-compliance listed below.
Inaccessible content
The content listed below is not accessible for the following reason: non-compliance with the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services (306/2019).
The following content or functions are not yet compliant with the requirements (according to the WCAG criteria), but we are working on ways to repair the defects and repair them as we develop the service further:
- (WCAG 1.3.1) The “Trademark details" table has an empty column header cell. If the “Trademark details" cell is the header of both columns, it should be determined to be divided correctly also programmatically.
- (WCAG 1.3.1) The table does not have determined row headers. This means that when a screen reader moves from one detail to another (for example, between dates), the user does not hear what the purpose of each date is.
- (WCAG 4.1.3) Screen reader users should get messages about visual changes of the service. At present, this is not realised in terms of the search function.
- In the service, elements with focus have a visible focus frame, but it is not that distinguishable in all browsers (a light blue frame against a dark blue background).
