Mexican IP Institute puts electronic services at the disposal of its users

A recent article describes how the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property improved the electronic services that it provides to the public. In recent years it has created both (i) Banapat, a patent and trade mark database that logs the publication of patent applications and granted patents, utility models and designs, and (ii) MarcaNet, which allows the public to access general information online and consult the status of trade mark applications and registrations.


Now the Institute has introduced a further range of services, including
* the ViDoc Industrial Property Documents Viewfinder, which enables users to search for, consult and download publicly available institute files on a variety of topics, and

* Solmarnet, a new system for filing trade mark applications online.
