The API Catalog for Intellectual Property (IP) is a unified platform that offers a list of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by IP institutions for their products and services.
This portal provides users with a single point of access to APIs that offer services related to IP data worldwide. It is regularly updated and features keyword search as well as labeling and categorization filters to help users more easily find the services they need. Additionally, the portal serves as a venue for IP institutions to promote the APIs they have developed.
This API Catalog was initially developed in collaboration with several IP offices around the world and aims to expand to include more IP institutions in the future.
