Introducing the Hague Member Profiles Database
August 31, 2018
On August 31, 2018 WIPO launched the all-new Hague Member Profiles Database for the Hague system. This e-service offers a portal to the practices and procedures of Hague System members around the world, putting a wealth of vital information at your fingertips.
Features and benefits
When preparing an international design application, use the Hague Member Profiles Database to uncover details about IP offices in your target markets, for example, whether a deferment of publication is allowed or the maximum duration of protection. After you’ve registered your design through the Hague System, the database’s simple interface gives you access to key procedures and time limits applicable in the countries or regions of members you have designated under your international registration.
Using the Database
Get started with the Hague Member Profiles Database in two easy steps: first, select the member(s) you are interested in, then determine the type of information you’re looking for.
Choose from a wide range of data including:
- Members that do not allow deferment of publication or those that allow it for a limited period
- All the declarations made by each member
- Information on each member’s examination procedures
- Information on opposition procedures or responding to refusals
- Contact information for each Office
Once you’ve found the information you’re looking for, the Hague Member Profiles Database also allows you to save, share or print your results quickly and easily.
