We provide access to the database our office uses to maintain up to date information on the status and details of applications and granted rights. There are various databases for Designs, Patents and Trade Marks. Your first step is to decide which of these subject areas is relevant to your search. Our web site holds many pages of information on all aspects of Intellectual Property. Use this facility if you wish to find information on a specific topic, rather than information relating to an individual Trade Mark, Design or Patent.
Commercial Searches Searching for existing patents or trade marks is a complex task.
The databases provided above, only skim the surface of the detailed resources that the office has its disposal.
