The Venner Shipley app is designed to be a simple, yet effective, aid for inventors, those managing patent and/or trade mark portfolios, or attorneys working in the field of intellectual property.

Functionality in this first edition includes:

Trade Mark and Patent Searches

Our app has a direct link to the official WIPO, EPO and UK IPO databases and so you can use our interface to search and view registered trade marks, registered designs, granted patents and published patent applications in the UK, Europe and worldwide direct from the app.

Official Fees Information:
We have provided an up-to-date and searchable database of official fees to give you an easily accessible guide to the official fees that are payable at each stage of applying for a patent, registering a trade mark and registering a design.

Intellectual Property News:

Venner Shipley regularly produces news alerts giving our analysis of patent and trade mark law changes, events and providing advice on different aspects of intellectual property. With our app you will receive these updates straight to your phone to be read at your leisure. Never be out of touch from IP news again.

Deadline Calculator:

It is often difficult to remember the various deadlines connected with the prosecution of a patent application. Our deadline calculator is able to calculate a number of relevant due dates for you. Simply add your priority date and let the app work out your deadlines. These are easily added to the in-built calendar and push notifications will then remind you of the deadline a week in advance.
