DESIGNVIEW - the ultimate search tool?
OHIM’s DESIGNVIEW search tool was, until recently, notable more for absences than the presences. All that has changed. With China, the US, Korea, Russia, Canada and Turkey on board, as well as OHIM and many national EU/EEA states, the scope is now really significant.
The front page has entries for Germany and Hague (International) designs, but as yet no data – hopefully these will come soon.

Meanwhile, using the same software, it’s little brother ASEAN DESIGNVIEW also features a pretty respectable collection of designs with more to come:

The data is not entirely consistent from one office to another, but as a free tool it is a tremendous start towards a “one stop” design search. Let’s hope the Office works as hard on developing the functionality as they are doing on expanding the content.
