A new online search tool for UK patents will make it easier for businesses and innovators to search and access patent information.
One IPO Search, developed by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), replaces the previous Ipsum service, which has served UK innovators well for 13 years - handling approximately 200,000 patent searches in the last 12 months alone.
The new service offers enhanced features to help IP professionals and the public search for UK patents more easily. It represents a ‘generational leap’ which will transform how customers can search for and discover patents, opening up the IPO’s data to all UK citizens.
