TarkistaaPRHn

TarkistaaPRHn is a Finnish term used to describe the act of verifying information with the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH). In Finnish, tarkistaa means to check, and PRH stands for Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus; the -n suffix denotes possession, effectively meaning “with PRH.”

PRH maintains several official registers, including the Finnish Trade Register and the Patent Register. Public data about registered companies, trade names, and intellectual property can be consulted through PRH's online services, commonly via the YTJ service, which aggregates information from PRH's registers and other authorities.

Typical uses include due diligence in business transactions, name availability checks, company due diligence, or compliance auditing. A person or organization seeking to tarkistaaPRHn would usually provide an identifying parameter such as a business ID (y-tunnus) or a registered name. The query returns official statuses (active, dormant, discontinued), business form, registered address, and key facts about the entity; for IP matters it may include patent or trademark status.

Limitations and considerations: data may be subject to update delays; some detailed records require authorization or official channels; results should be interpreted in the context of official certificates if needed. It is not a substitute for formal documentation.
