To enhance the accessibility and market credibility of patent and trademark certificates, TIPO has optimized its "Certificate Search System" as of January 2026. The system now generates case-specific QR codes embedded with the official TIPO emblem. This allows right holders to easily obtain TIPO-certified QR codes for use on products, packaging, documentation, promotional materials, and digital content, increasing the transparency of intellectual property information.

Specifically, the introduction of these official QR codes offers three major benefits:

1. Convenience for Consumers: By scanning the code with a mobile device, the public can instantly access the official database to view the latest case details and the real-time legal status of patents or trademarks.

2. Enhanced Consumer Trust: The inclusion of the official TIPO emblem allows consumers to quickly identify the information as officially verified, reassuring customers of the product’s authenticity.

3. Effective Infringement Prevention: Displaying clear and reliable official patent and trademark status helps deter potential infringing activities by third parties.

This service is free of charge and requires no additional application. It can be accessed directly through the TIPO Certificate Search System. Right holders are encouraged to make full use of this new feature.
