PATLIB – local access to patent information
PATLIB centres were created to provide local access to patent information and other related information. In particular, SMEs, private inventors and higher education institutions get access to patent information and to high-quality patent information services via PATLIB centres. They have qualified and experienced staff who offer practical assistance on patents and a variety of other intellectual property rights.
PATLIB centres in Finland
The Finnish PATLIB network has become active again after a few quiet years. The Finnish Patent and Registration Office, the Foundation for Finnish Inventions, invention advisors, and innovation advisors at universities have had a well-functioning collaboration network in Finland since the 90’s. Today, higher education institutions and the Team Finland and Business Finland organisations continue this work.
