Searching IP
Searching for existing Intellectual Property (IP) rights is a crucial element in the IP creation process. It helps you to verify if your idea for a technical invention, a design or a trademark is new or already protected by a third party.
IP databases for different IP types offer information about the status of protection on a global scale. Use the selected search tools to check if your idea is new and has a chance be protected by an own Intellectual Property right. Use the IP search also to gain inspiration for new ideas and further developments.

Registering IP
Intellectual Property (IP) can be the result of research & development (R&D) activities and creative work performed by individuals or teams of individuals in specific contexts. To count as Intellectual Property and to be protected by Intellectual Property rights, each form of IP needs to fulfill specific requirements.
Patents, utility certificates, industrial designs, and trademarks creation usually follow a systematic approach. However, trade secrets and copyrights creation can follow a huge variety of possible processes and therefore do not necessarily follow a systematic approach.
In addition, patents and utility certificates are both related to technical inventions and thus follow an identical creation process.
