OHIM to move to e-Certificates |
|
| |
In December this year, OHIM is planning to introduce a new policy for the
delivery of registration Certificates for Community trade marks. In a move
designed to speed up the registration process, printed certificates will no
longer be supplied. Instead, they will be downloaded directly from the
OHIM´s website. The new e-Certificates should look the same as the previous
paper certificates and will have exactly the same legal value. They will be
available for download in PDF format via our Online Access to Files system
within a few days of the registration date.
Users of e-Communication, available to everyone who has signed up for MyPage,
will receive the Internet link for downloading the certificate directly in
their e-Communication inboxes. Other users will receive a fax or letter
providing the correct link. OHIM strongly advises all users to sign up for
e-Communication to ensure the fastest, simplest and most secure
communication with the Office. To know how it works, please go to
www.oami.eu.

WIPO launch PATENTSCOPE® |
|
| |
WIPO has launched an
enhanced online patent
information service that will improve public access to information on
patents filed and granted around the world. WIPO's
PATENTSCOPE®, which currently
hosts data on more than 1.6 million international patent applications filed
under the Patent Cooperation Treaty
(PCT),
has been extended to include several collections of national and regional patent
information. In this first phase, WIPO's
PATENTSCOPE® includes the
patent data collections of eight patent offices: African Regional Intellectual
Property Organization (ARIPO), Cuba, Israel,
Republic of Korea, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa and Vietnam. The expansion of
WIPO's PATENTSCOPE® data
collection makes it possible to conduct high-quality, detailed and
free-of-charge searches of the patent information of the participating offices.
For more information please consult WIPO´s website (www.wipo.org)
