National patent collection of Georgia in Patentscope and Espacenet
July 20, 2018
The full national patent collection of Georgia is now available for the first time in WIPO’s global patent search system Patentscope. The collection includes patents issued by Sakpatenti from its establishment in 1992 until today, altogether around 8850 documents. It includes ca. 6900 patents on invention and ca. 1950 patents on utility model.
Prior to the inclusion of the collection in Patentscope, the data was thoroughly processed and prepared according to WIPO standards in the new electronic system of Sakpatenti. The data includes bibliographic notes as well as full text image data of the patent documents.
Patentscope is a global patent search system which includes PCT applications as well as national patent collections from many countries, altogether 70 million documents.
The Georgian national patent collection was updated also in Espacenet – patent search system of the European Patent Office (EPO), which includes 100 million patent documents.
In both systems the renewal and update of Georgian patent data will take place automatically once a month.
The inclusion of the Georgian patents in said systems will improve their searchability on the global scale as they will be placed among the global prior art documents.
