Searches 

In addition to doing your own searches in the search room, you can also submit requests to the PIZ. 

A. Searches in the search room
Our employees will assist you with your searches.
We exclusively offer commercially available databases covering all commercial property rights, i.e. patents, utility models, trademarks and designs, with extensive worldwide coverage. For more information, please refer to the Databases webpage.

B. Ordering searches
We generally prepare proposals for patent searches, individually in line with your requirements and classified on the basis of their retrospective nature and their regional coverage. A request form can be downloaded, completed and sent back to us.

Professionally trained technical search experts perform your searches quickly and reliably. A constant exchange of ideas between the researcher requesting the search and our search experts is possible throughout the process. Ultimately, you will receive a search report with relevant documents grouped and annotated according to relevance.
