Patent Information Points (PIP) all over Italy provide comprehensive information on industrial property protection. For many years, these Patent Information Points (PIP) have been recognised as cooperation partners of the Italian Patent and Trademark Office and local points of contact for giving guidance on questions about the protection of innovation. They assist industry, science and start-ups in identifying, using, monitoring and managing their patents, utility models, trademarks and designs as well as in avoiding infringement of third party rights.
As all-round providers of services in the field of industrial property protection, the Patent Information Points (PIP) further raise awareness of the importance of Intellectual Property (IP) and IP information among enterprises and research institutions in their regions and therefore are important stakeholders in the Italian innovation landscape.
