NIIP uses the International Patent Classification of Industrial Designs (The Locarno Classification); other classifications are not used.

IV. Search file establishment and upkeep

An information search is carried out:

  • of granted patents at the NIIP

 

  • on application materials presented by applicants;

 

  • by searching registered and issued Kazakhstan titles of protection for industrial designs;

 

  • by searching databases of patent offices and organizations; and
  • by searching other information sources.


Search systems and available databases of industrial designs on the Internet network are also used during the information search.

 

V. Activities in the field of computerized search systems for industrial designs
