GCC Patent Office Introduces WIPO Publish System for Electronic Publishing of Patent Applications

RIYADH - The Patent Office of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCCPO) signed an agreement with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to introduce the "WIPO Publish" search system to search for patents granted by the Office.

The WIPO Publish System is tailored for electronically publishing patent applications by using multiple tools that comply with WIPO's standards for patent search databases, similar to the standards adopted by advanced patent offices worldwide. It allows researchers in the GCC and abroad to access patents granted by the Office and documents related to the patent application by using multiple tools that comply with WIPO's standards for patent search databases.

The system is designed to streamline the exchange of published patent data and documents among patent offices in the GCC states and abroad. In addition, this system simplifies the access to international patent applications and their bibliographic details, available in Arabic and English languages.
