Legal Status

Legal status is available for 60 patent-issuing authorities, 118 trademark registers and 64 design registers.

For patents, most of the information comes from the EPO “Legal Status” database also known as PRS (Patent Register Service) which covers events occurring during the patent cycle and may affect the legal status of published applications or granted patents.

However for crucial authorities such China and US legal status is directly obtained from their local patent office.

Normalized searchable legal events:

Alive/Dead state
Granted/Pending status
Opposition (in all or specific countries)
Licensing (in all or specific countries)
Term Rights Extensions (in all or specific countries)
Reassignments
Entry into national phase (in all or specific countries)
