Dear reader

We are pleased to update you on new and interesting topics in the field of patent and technology searches.

01 New ip-search homepage
02 PATINFO Suhl – we were there

03 Are you familiar with the benefits of our search report?

With effect from 1 July 2022, the IPI no longer offers trade mark searches. 

As a result, the ip-search page now focuses on patent searches. The website now welcomes you with a new homepage and a new structure. You can order searches and obtain offers quickly and easily from any page.

Have a quick look at our new format: www.ip-search.swiss

The Colloquium of the Ilmenau University of Technology on Patent Information and Industrial Property Protection took place for the 44th time this year. The topic of the conference was the ‘Internationalisation and digitalisation of the IP world’.

We had a stand at PATINFO 2022, and we also held a workshop that previewed a future, interactive form of online report. It will enable you to filter, sort and classify results from search reports yourself, and to add comments and highlights.

In our view, this is an ideal client interface: it will allow you to continue analysing your results at the point where our involvement ends. You can find initial information here: Presentation (in German)

Our search report has been available in a new format since 1 October 2021. Click here to find more information about its main features and a brief guide on how best to use it.

Best regards,
