Avoid unpleasant surprises

With the help of a novelty search, you can get quick answers as to whether someone already has applied for or registered an identical or similar product.

Our novelty searches

It is important that the search suits your needs. For that reason, product areas that are of relevance for the search are selected together with you.

The search covers the following:

• All national applications and registrations in the Swedish Design Database.
• All registered and applied for Community designs valid throughout the EU (OHIM and WIPO).
• Trademark registered outfit protection relating to Swedish trademarks and international trademarks valid in Sweden and the EU.

Our reports

The results are presented in an easy-to-understand report that does not require any prior knowledge of the design area. You receive information regarding designs which are similar to the product you are intending to use, or if we have found any other hindrances. If we determine that the product is of a technical character, rather than being a design, the report will contain a recommendation to file a patent application. You will then also receive information about how to file a patent application.

How long does it take?

You receive the report with comments within twelve working days.
