Problem Statement
 Identification
of the need to obtain a coherent and up-to-date
information on how Industrial Property Offices (IPOs) disseminate
data regarding Industrial Property (IP) activities.
Revision of the current methods each IPO publishes these
information and mainly the evolution towards modern carriers
proved to be rather not homogenous.

regarding IPOs policy for dissemination of IP data is a matter of
common interest both for IPOs and third parties.

Objectives
 Establishing of a more efficient way of gathering information
regarding means of IP data dissemination from each IPO;
 Simplifying the way these information are made available to
IPOs and other interested parties;

E-inventory
Solution (1/2)
 Creation of an inventory, hosted on the WIPO web site, which
will be supported by a database based system, allowing remote
updates by individual IPOs and retrieval requests related to IPOs
product types. The system will allow submissions of documents /
product requests to the IPO.
 Administration and remote access technologies will be browser
based (preferably Java) and will not demand for special
equipments.
 Updating will be the responsibility of each IPO. Updates will be
done on password basis.. In order to keep track of the
interventions made by an IPO, the actions performed will be kept
in a history structure.
E-inventory
Solution (2/2)
 Database administration, management of rights of access,
maintenance of the web page - will be WIPO responsibility.
 Retrieval of information will be done using search criteria such
as: Country / IPO name; IP field (patents, trademarks, industrial
design etc); name of the product, support, date since the product
has become available.
 Submission of a request for documents/products to IPOs could
be done through a direct link to that originating office (e-mail,
forms, etc.).
