The world of intellectual property has changed considerably during the last 30 years as a result of globalization and the inception of the Internet and digital era. Now, more than ever, in this constantly changing, fast-paced environment, patent and trademark professionals need complete, reliable and up-to-date information on the local IP practice for countries throughout the world in order to protect their IP assets globally. To satisfy that need, Oxford University Press and Equerion Information Services have partnered to publish the World Manual on Patents. Updated and reissued annually in 6 convenient paperback volumes, this work includes the practice, proceedings, and application handling for patents in more than 200 jurisdictions. The information is collected from official trademark and patent offices, specialized publications, and web sites. A worldwide network of local associates in more than 100 law firms is used to verify the accuracy of the data.
This product is updated and published yearly. World Manual on Trademarks and World Manual on Utility Models, Industrial Models, and Designs are also available.
