International demand for our services
The expansion of our service centre has already paid dividends for the Austrian economy by helping to avoid the unnecessary and costly duplication of inventions at home, and this was indeed the aim of serv.ip. What no one could foresee, however, was that serv.ip has also attracted significant international attention. After being in operation for just a few years, serv.ip is now being used all over the world. Since 2007 our serv.ip staff have been conducting searches for possible duplicate developments for Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Croatia, Turkey, Slovenia and San Marino. We are naturally delighted with this international recognition, which confirms the pioneering role played by Austria in the field of industrial property protection.
