What Is Indian Patent Advanced Search System - inPASS - Intellect Vidhya Solutions Bangalore

The Indian Patent Office created the web-based tool known as the Indian Patent Advanced Search System (InPASS). For searching patents and other records pertaining to intellectual property rights in India, InPASS is a very helpful resource. This tool can be used to search Indian patents, utility models, etc. InPASS offers a number of functions, including subject matter, patent class, and filing date searches.

Concept of Indian Patent Advanced Search System:

This is the suitable option for you if you are an Indian living overseas and wish to learn about any patents issued by the Indian Patent Office (IPO). Through the official website at www.ipoindia.gov, this creative application can allow you learn additional details about your desired patents in real-time from anywhere in the world.

InPASS, also known as the Indian Patent Advanced Search System. It was first released in 2015.

The Indian Patent Information Retrieval System (IPAIRS) was in use before InPASS. The change was necessary since IPAIRS was not qualified to offer a complete research facility.

InPASS, however, permits a thorough Patent Search. This database not only helps in conducting a thorough patent search, but it also publishes individual applications.

Additionally, before submitting the patent registration in India, the applicant must perform an online patent search. It is also important to notice that ‘InPASS’ search interface resembles WIPO’s User-Friendly Search.

InPASS enables search results to be filtered based on the Assignee’s name and application date.
