The World’s most competitive businesses are built on protected innovations and brands. As exclusive rights to ideas and innovations take up a growing share of company value, patent, trademark and design information is the cornerstone of all corporate strategies.

A regular review of IP databases can provide valuable information about your existing competitors and newcomers to the market. By checking IP databases, you may be able to gain insights about what your major competitors are doing, ideas about product development, new service offerings and how to minimize infringement risks. You may also be able to identify potential business partners or takeover targets.

Leading IP Databases include:

• IP Outreach Research- WIPO
• WIPOLEX
• WIPO IP STATISTICS DATA CENTRE
• EPO WORLDWIDE PATENT STATISTICAL DATABASE
• GLOBAL INNOVATION INDEX

IP Database firms and firms which have expertise in carrying out IP surveys such as for determining consumer confusion in case of trademarks, assessing patent infringement damages or antitrust issues and who are interested to advertise in this space may write to us with full particulars and credentials nipo@nipo.in.
