Services for Intellectual Property Offices

Our company, beside the general services provided for organizations or enterprises, has built several databases, which are especially important for national Intellectual Property Offices. Also a set of downloadable data files is available from Arcanum Developments’ Electronic Library. Our IP Links provide the most comprehensive list of available IP information on the WEB containing lists of agents, organizations and legal information such as legislations and articles about legislations. Services, which we provide for Intellectual Property Offices, include data conversions and data consistency checking, as well as customized software development.
