Thomson Reuters CompuMark, a Thomson Reuters Intellectual Property & Science business and global leader in trademark searching and brand protection solutions, has announced the addition of Industrial Designs to its SAEGIS platform. The Industrial Designs database offers brand owners a fast and cost-effective avenue to get critical information about registered design patents.
Industrial Designs gives Thomson Reuters CompuMark customers the ability to easily discover critical insight into existing product designs. It combs through 17 different databases including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, China, Registered Community Design and the International Register, as well as three countries exclusive to Thomson Reuters: Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. It also provides access to over nine million designs to help quickly establish intelligence on design patent filings. The new databases limit a company's exposure to brand infringement and maximise protection of its intellectual assets by screening a product's distinctive shape and design features early in the process.
The design data allows users to review, filter and sort through patent designs, as well as access summarised views and make notations alongside trademark results. A Custom Search tool is also available, enabling clients to incorporate Industrial Designs in one report with other SAEGIS results, flag and comment on findings, and create custom reports for internal distribution.
Industrial Designs is powered by the Thomson Reuters SAEGIS on SERION® platform, which claims to be the world's largest provider of comprehensive, searchable trademark screening data covering 186 countries and registrars. Utilising robust features such as global company names, domain names with reverse WhoIS and industrial designs, SAEGIS provides a holistic view of all potential trademark risks. With more than 40 years of trademark search, clearance and watch experience, Thomson Reuters CompuMark protects nearly all of the world's top brands and is used by leading trademark attorneys in corporations and law firms around the globe.
