The UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) announced on January 17 the launch of two new patent databases.
One database contains all patents in force in the UK which are endorsed Licence of Right, and are therefore open for licensing.
The other contains all UK patents which are no longer in force, and therefore contains inventions which are no longer protected in the UK.
Both of the new databases will help businesses identify opportunities they might otherwise not have found.
Assistant Comptroller and Director of Patents, Sean Dennehey, commented:
"The introduction of these two new free databases, which were recommended in the Gowers Review, will we hope, give UK businesses ready access to good ideas and new opportunities."
The databases are based on the design of the successful E-Patents Journal available on the Intellectual Property website and will be updated weekly.
Each provides a searchable sub-set of data from the Patents Register.
