Find a brand's company
brand_ownerIdentify the Spanish company linked to a trademark or trading name using OEPM records since 1987. Returns name-matched holders with company status and slug for further registry lookups.
Instructions
Find the Spanish company a trademark or trading name is linked to, in the Spanish patent office's (OEPM) trademark and commercial-name records we hold (the archive starts in 1987).
Use it when the user names a brand; for a company's own name use search_companies, for a known company's brands use company_brands.
Returns JSON {found, brand, matches: [{brand, kind, company_slug, company_name, company_status, file}], truncated, source, note}. kind commercial_name identifies a business; trademark distinguishes goods or services (NESCAFÉ is not another name for Nestlé): say which kind a hit is. Links come from holder-name matching (the office publishes no tax IDs); ambiguous holders stay unlinked: present a hit as a name match, not confirmed ownership. found false is not proof the brand is unused. On a hit, use company_history with the slug.
Read-only; one request per call. Needs the basic plan or higher: send your API key in the X-API-Key header (https://bormeapi.com/account).
