UK-IPO Launches New Patent Web Databases to Help UK Business

2009/01/22

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) announced in a press release that it has launched two new patents databases on its website January 17-18, 2009.

 

One contains all patents in force in the UK which are endorsed License of Right, and are therefore open for licensing. The other contains all UK patents which are no longer in force, and therefore contains inventions which are no longer protected in the country.

 

Both the new databases will help businesses identify opportunities they might otherwise not have found.

 

"The introduction of these two new free databases, which were recommended in the Gowers Review, will we hope, give UK businesses ready access to good ideas and new opportunities," Assistant Comptroller and Director of Patents Sean Dennehey said.

 

The databases are based on the design of the successful e-Patents Journal available on the UK-IPO website and will be updated weekly.
