AMMAN - Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) is pleased to introduce to its clients an array of new services in respect of search for published patents in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Patent Office.
Prior to the filing of a patent application, AGIP, through its Intellectual Property Published Registrations (IPPR) Data Center, will be conducting a comprehensive search for patents published in the Official Gazettes and National Patent Office websites in the aforementioned countries, in order to determine patents’ availability for use and registration.
Using a number of criteria such as title, abstract, names (inventor/ applicant), numbers and dates (publication/ application/ priority) and patent families, the search covers bibliographic search, English equivalent patent search, English related patent documents search, equivalent patent family search and infringement search.
After conducting the search, clients will be provided with a full detailed search report that incorporates the following information: bibliographic data including the abstract; legal status including the effective date, the expiry date of the right and transactions; the original document of the patent of interest, as well as translation of claims (the last two are only applicable in Saudi Arabia and the GCC).
AGIP will be extending such services to cover all Arab countries in the near future.
