The informative and educational activities of the industrial property office
The Industrial Property Office‘s main function is that of the national patent and trademark office which ensures the effective protection of the results of various technical creative activities (in the form of the issuance of patents and the registration of utility designs) and the legal safeguarding of the subjects of industrial designs (in the form of the registration of industrial designs) and the rights to labelling (in the form of the registration of trademarks, the labelling of origin and geographical labelling). As a public administration body, the Office is the coordinator of the international treaties protecting industrial property, to which the Czech Republic is bound. The Office‘s activities also include the securing of the development of industrial property protection and the functions of a specialised information centre.
The Office is one of the regional centres for patent information in the Czech Republic. The basic provided services include loans of patent literature, the realisation of searches and the monitoring of the state of the art in selected areas of technology. A large amount of information and services is provided via the internet.
The Office is involved in systematically building and making available a fund of international and national patent literature. At present, it has over 30 million original patent documents available from 26 countries in the world, including documents which have been issued upon the basis of the European Patent Convention and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The public reading room has both classic (paper, microfiche and microfilm) and electronic (CD-ROM and DVD) forms of the documents available. There is also the option of on-line access to a number of international database centres and their databases (for example, STN, Dialog and Questel).
The basic information services are provided free of charge. Fees are charged for services associated with any special costs which the Office has to outlay in order to provide them (for example, access to international database centres), for the use of the Office‘s search specialists or for photocopying.
