Nordic Patent Institute launches new website

We are happy to announce the launch of a new website for Nordic Patent Institute.

As Nordic Patent Institute continues to grow and evolve, we were of the opinion that our website should evolve as well. The process of developing the new website has been a close cooperation between the Nordic Patent Institute staff, as well as the highly competent experts of the patent offices of the member states. It has been a long process but we are finally there.

We have also listened closely to our clients and have added new features to try to meet their needs. One of the most interesting new features is our “Secure File Exchange” system, which allows our customers to communicate and share files with us in a highly secure manner.

Some of the new features are:

  • A fresh, new design for easy navigation
  • Better viewing in mobile devices such as tablets and notebooks
  • Well defined spilt between our two business areas: PCT and Patent Search Services
  • Connections to social media
  • Fee calculator for PCT, providing a simple overview of the fees for various PCT filing routes
  • Secure File Exchange – a secure way of sharing files and communicating with our customers, a system based on a locally hosted SSL-enabled web server (HTTPS).

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions concerning the website, or if you have a request or questions about our services, please send us an email (npi@npi.int) give us a call +45 4350 8500.
