WIPOScan is a digitization software package owned by WIPO to assist its member states to create national Intellectual Property (IP) Databases.
With this software package, all paper-based IP documents, including patents, utility models, trademarks, and industrial designs, can be converted into digital format.
A modular approach to the development was adopted to ensure compatibility with other WIPO systems and with other systems already in place in IP offices.
The core functionalities of the system are documents indexing by dossier and document numbers, editing of scanned documents, sub-sections indexation, dossier and document viewing.
The default language of the user interface of the system is English but localization support is available to enable offices to change the language of the interface to their preferred one.
The modular system architecture ensures a flexible and scalable system which can be integrated with diverse IP administration and document management systems.
Although the system works as an integrated software package, each module can serve as stand-alone software system.
