From the September 2015 issue of UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO)'s attractive little e-mazagine, IP Connect, comes news that, as of 10 August 2015, the UK IPO has made its design data available to the DesignView search tool managed by OHIM. This centralised access point provides information on over 4 million designs from 32 participating offices, the WIPO and OHIM and the IPO will now add a further 163,000 images.

Since the introduction of DesignView on 19 November 2012, the tool has served over 900,000 searches from 139 different countries.
