Since 2001, we’ve provided an online database, www.swissreg.ch, offering quick and easy access for all interested parties to information from the trade mark, patent and design registers, as well as information on protected topographies.

 

This widely used database and publication organ is to be relaunched at the end of October 2024.

 

A more powerful and extensive database, database.ipi.ch, is already available for searching the registers. Applicants, rights owners and representatives can also manage their IP rights within the database. For example, they can request changes to the register.

 

From the end of October, the IPI will also publish its official, legally binding publications in this database, including new registrations and granted patents, rectifications, renewals, cancellations, and owner, representative and licence changes. The current Swissreg will then be deactivated, but the new platform will be accessible at the same web address  – www.swissreg.ch.

 

Do you want to look at the databases right now?

 

• Use database.ipi.ch to search for IP rights.
• Use www.swissreg.ch to search for legally binding publications.
• You can familiarise yourself with the beta version of the new publication organ before its official launch.
• From the end of October (we’ll inform you of the exact date), you’ll find everything at the one address www.swissreg.ch.
