WIPO will continue to develop the WIPO IP Office Suite to keep up with the demands of IP offices and with modern technologies. 

Some planned improvements include:

  • Better integration with global IP systems (PCT, Madrid and Hague) to allow automated and online exchange of data and notifications.

  • Improved support for substantive examination of patents, trademarks and designs by incorporating new technologies such as advanced search techniques and image recognition.
  • More open and more configurable design, to allow IP offices to more easily implement their own functionality or interface with other systems.
  • Improvements to support and maintenance processes, to incorporate new features more quickly and to provide better service levels to IP offices.
  • Options for cloud hosting, especially for offices with limited local IT infrastructure.
