PATENTSCOPE is a global patent database and search system developed and maintained by the World Intellectual Property Organization.
In 2001, WIPO launched PATENTSCOPE as an online service to provide free access to international patent documents.
Some of the key features of the database include: PATENTSCOPE provides access to millions of patent documents from around the world.
The database covers a broad range of technology fields, allowing users to search for patents in their specific areas of interest.
Users can perform searches using keywords, patent numbers, inventors' names, and other relevant criteria in multiple languages.
PATENTSCOPE offers advanced search options to help users refine their queries and retrieve precise results.
[20] The Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval interface is also available in the database, and allows users to not only translate their search terms but also find synonyms of those.
