Agreement on access to PatSearch reached with the Office of Tajikistan

On February 3, 2021, Rospatent and the National Center for Patents and Information of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Republic of Tajikistan (NCPI) signed a Memorandum on providing access to PatSearch, the patent information search system of Rospatent.

PatSearch is a professional search system designed for experts of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS). The system provides an extended set of functions, allowing to search by titles of protection of the PCT minimum countries, CIS countries, WIPO, EPO, ARIPO and OAPI. Since 2018, PatSearch utilizes artificial intelligence to conduct searches, providing the examiner with related documentation immediately at the beginning of substantial examination.

Similar documents were previously signed by Rospatent with the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) and national patent offices of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova.
