India: CGPDTM launches new website

Post by EPO / Asia Info » Thu Sep 29, 2016 8:38 am

Dear users,

In September the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) launched a new organisation web-page http://www.ipindia.nic.in/. The official patent database of the Indian Patent Office – InPASS was also affected http://ipindiaservices.gov.in/publicsea ... licsearch/.

The new search mask of the InPASS requires entering the Captcha code before running the search. The result list displays only the application number and date, title and status. The new system does not allow any more adding applicant’s name and publication date to the result list. The new result list shows the results without the document preview on the right side of the screen and the expand function for displaying bibliographic data and abstract directly within the result list was also removed. For the document view, the bibliographic section received an upgraded new design; however the Complete Specification, E-register and Application status are still linked to the screen of the old design.

In case of questions related to this topic, you can also post them here or you can contact us directly at asiainfo@epo.org

With kind regards,

Your team for Asian patent information services
