UK IP Office Launches Enhanced Online Patent Services
The UK Intellectual Property Office announced on Wednesday that customers can
now request an online certified copy of their patent applications and provide
information about late declarations of priority, thanks to a new enhanced version
of the web based service originally launched in June 2007. The service launched earlier this year was designed to allow users to apply
for patents on-line and provide their inventorship information using a web-based
interface. Users can also request search and examination of their application
in this way. Included in the most recent launch is a new web filing service allowing customers
to request entry of an international patent application to the UK national phase. Over the next few months, further enhancements will be introduced which will
allow customers to request and receive an uncertified office copy electronically,
and also to file a selection of later filed forms and documents via the IP Office
website Sean Dennehey, Director of Patents explained that: "These new and enhanced services and our planned future releases underline
our commitment to providing our customers with as much choice and as many options
to do business with us as possible." .
