Information brochures on DEPATISnet

DEPATISnet offers you the opportunity to carry out searches in the DPMA's electronic document archive online and free of charge. It includes more than 80 million patent publications from around the world. DEPATISnet is particularly suited to state-of-the-art and freedom-to-operate searches.

There are five different search types available to you:

  • Beginner's search: The most important search criteria are listed for you in the relevant search fields.
  • Expert search: Expert mode helps you formulate more complex queries. In this search function, any defined search criteria can be entered into one search field and can be combined with long and more complex search queries via Boolean operators.
  • IKOFAX search: As an experienced user, you can formulate searches in this mode directly in IKOFAX Messenger query language — the internal search language of the DEPATIS patent information system.
  • Patent family search: This mode allows you to discover if a patent family exists. A patent family designates a group of patent documents from several countries which can be traced back to the same first filing.
  • PIZ support: Your request will be forwarded to a patent information centre for processing.

The help section of DEPATISnet provides you with detailed information and explanations on the use of the various search options, the available documents and the latest database updates.
