To simplify the filing procedure for applicants and other users, the information on the annual maintenance of patents is published in the Database of Industrial Property Rights on the website of the National Center of Intellectual Property. This information relates to patents for inventions, utility models, and industrial designs.

As noted by the Director General of NCIP Uladzimir Rabavolau, the publication of the above information in the Database will enable the right holders to track the terms of maintenance fee payment, and the third parties to find out details about the patent validity.

The database is based on the information from the state registers of industrial property rights of the Republic of Belarus in a daily update mode and allows you to search information on the industrial property objects registered in the state registers of the Republic of Belarus, as well as subsequent amendments to these registrations.

The system provides the option for the main types of search:

• thematic (subject) – by the name of the industrial property object or the classification index;
• numerical – by the number of the application or patent (certificate);
• personalized (brand) – by full name of the right holder, applicant or author.
