The search function
You can search Swissreg for IP rights and publications. Use search operators if you want to find similar results too.
Two search masks are available in the database:
- The IP rights search allows you to search for Swiss trade marks and pending trade mark applications as well as international trade marks registered in Switzerland.
- The publication search allows you to search for published register changes such as new registrations and renewals of Swiss trade marks.
You can save searches and monitor new publications. Please refer to the ‘Search results’ page.
How the search works
When you search for one or more search terms, the following fields are searched for matches:
When searching for IP rights
- Trade mark titles
- Word elements of word/figurative marks
- Trade mark numbers
- Application numbers
- Owner
- Representative
- Goods and services
When searching for publications
- Trade mark titles
- IP right number (trade mark number)
- Publication details
- Published remark
- Owner
- Representative
The search only produces results if the term or character string is found exactly as written. For example, if you search for photo, it will only find results for the word photo and not photos, photograph or photographer. If you want to find other spellings or similar terms, please use the advanced search options.
If you use several search terms, the search results will contain at least one of these terms (default operator OR).
Upper/lower case
The search engine does not differentiate between upper and lower case letters.
Terms containing umlauts and other accents
Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and other accents (e.g. à, ô, ç) are not taken into account by the search engine. This is also the case if you use double quotation marks to search for exact word sequences. It therefore does not matter if you type umlauts or accents – a search for schön or schon will produce the same results. You cannot, however, use ae, oe or ue in place of ä, ö or ü.
Terms containing special characters
The search engine does not recognise special characters. This includes the characters + - / & ! ( ). Full stops and commas are recognised.
Because special characters function like spaces, the character sequences before and after a special character (e.g. PC-Doctor) are treated like separate terms (search for PC and Doctor). Therefore, please place search terms with special characters in double quotation marks –
"pc-doctor".
