The Chilean National Institute of Industrial Property (INAPI)
has recently made available patent search and examination
documentation performed by INAPI´s patent examiners to the
WIPO CASE system hosted by the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO). WIPO CASE is a platform that enables
participating patent offices to securely share patent search and
examination reports.
WIPO CASE is aimed to improve the quality and efficiency of the
patent search and examination process done at local and regional
patent offices by sharing existing information of any equivalent
filing at another participating patent office.
The following are the intellectual property offices that
participate directly in WIPO CASE: Australia, Brunei, Cambodia,
Chile, China, the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO), the European
Patent Office (EPO), India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia,
Mongolia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Lao
People's Democratic Republic, Singapore, Thailand,
