Nordic Patent Institute

We utilize the competence of the patent examiners at the Danish and Norwegian Patent Offices. The examiners are all highly skilled PCT-examiners with extensive experience in searching patent and non-patent literature. The searches are performed using the best international patent databases and non-patent literature databases available and state-of-the-art search tools.

We were established in 2006, but we build on decades of experience of providing search services through the national offices forming the Nordic Patent Institute.

We also act as International Search Authority (ISA) and International Preliminary Examination Authority (IPEA) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for nationals and residents of Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
