Agreement relating to the supply of the ICT system for the National Patent Register in the Institute for the Intellectual Property Office (IIP BiH) in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Development of National Patent Register (NPR) and related modules

Beneficiary/ Beneficiaries	Institute for Intellectual Property of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Description Detailed	The purpose of the project is development of National Patent Register (NPR). European Patent Office (EPO) is developing Federated Patent Register service, which will establish a common European entry point which will allow the users to access national register data in harmonized way. This requires the existence of electronic national register, for this reasons it has been envisaged to develop national register. The NPR shall provide the patent with direct access to all the publicly available information on the national patent applications as they pass through the grant procedure. It shall provide procedural and legal data on national filings. With the NPR it shall be possible: to find out what stage in the procedure a national patent application has reached to see if a national patent has been granted, or will be granted soon to check whether any oppositions to a national patent have been filed to read the correspondence between the national office and the patent applicant/attorney and store these documents off-line for later study (download data). The NPR should support deep linking with the future EPO’s Federated Patent Register.
