Accessibility statement: Trademark application

The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) is committed to making the service accessible in accordance with the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services (laki digitaalisten palvelujen tarjoamisesta 306/2019Open link in a new tab, lag om tillhandahållande av digitala tjänster 306/2019Open link in a new tab). The PRH works constantly to improve the accessibility of the service. We will update this statement when necessary.

How the accessibility statement was compiled

This statement was compiled on 22 May 2024.

The statement is based on:

• an evaluation by a third party (Eficode Oy) of whether the service meets the requirements laid down in Directive (EU) 2016/2102; and
• our own assessment that most of the problems the third party discovered in their assessment have been corrected according to the third party’s instructions.

Accessibility of the service

This online service mainly fulfils the requirements laid down in the law (the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services 306/2019Open link in a new tab). The defects in accessibility are listed below.

Inaccessible content

The functions listed below do not yet meet the accessibility requirements, but we are working on ways to address the shortcomings as we develop the service further:

1. (WCAG 1.3.1) The HTML heading levels in the ‘List of goods and services’ section are not used logically and appropriately.
2. (WCAG 4.1.2, 1.4.3, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 1.1.1, 3.3.2) Some elements in the ‘List of goods and services’ section do not have the aria-describedby attribute. Additionally, the focus stops working occasionally in some elements.
3. (WCAG 1.4.11) There are deficiencies in the contrasts between the text, background and graphical elements.
4. (WCAG 1.4.13) The instructions open and have focus when the cursor hovers over them, but they cannot be closed using the Escape key.
5. (WCAG 4.1.2, 1.3.1, 1.1.1) In the date selectors, the current day is not determined programmatically, the date browser buttons are missing text alternatives, and the heading and data cells are not specified adequately.
6. (WCAG 1.4.4) In some places, the text does not scale correctly when the page is zoomed to 200%.
