Chinese patent office launches new English website
Written by Andres Heuberger on Monday, July 06, 2009
New English websites operated by SIPO, the Chinese patent office, and its Intellectual Property Publishing House (IPPH) are now live.
Accroding to EPO's East meets west blog, the interfaces for the free patent sources available on these websites have also been re-designed. Content and search functions have remained largely the same.
It's interesting to see how aggressively IPPH is promoting its patent-translation service. While some of their own translations require some additional work ("Processing Enormous Chinese Patent Data" a banner ad proclaims), their prices are pretty good. And if you need it fast, IPPH offers a machine-translation service (either standalone or "human aided").
