IP Desk

The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property

About

The IPI is the federal government’s central point of contact for all questions concerning patents, trademarks, geographical designations of origin, design protection and copyright. You can protect your intellectual property from being plagiarised. Such protection allows you to prevent others from using your intellectual property. As a result, your innovations and creations become a tradeable commodity, which you can sell, license or pledge.

Here’s what we can do for you

Assisted Patent Search
Do you have an idea or an invention and you’re wondering if you can patent it? Or are you a researcher at a public research institute working on an invention? An Assisted Patent Search at the IPI will help you to get to grips with the patenting process and help you to decide on the next steps.
