Manual IP is formally known as “Manual for the Handling of Applications for Patents, Designs and Trademarks Throughout the World”.
The user-centric and innovative redesign of Manual IP – along with all the other founts of information and guidance available through Kluwer IP Law – will enable IP prosecution professionals such as patent and trademark attorneys and agents, in-house counsel, formality and support officers, and paralegals to be effective in their day-to-day jobs in a way that could not have been imagined even a few years ago.
The following features are included:
- Find and compare IP prosecution information for patents, trademarks, industrial designs and utility models globally.
- Use the smart search function through the renewed Preselected topics for IP phases, for one or more jurisdictions. This will lighten the workload and facilitates the IP Law professional in selected IP application phases.
- Quickly find answers and make a one-on-one comparison between the various topics from multiple countries.
- Save favourite searches and topics for future reference.
- Created by local experts in the field.

My role is to provide precise information on IP law to assist our Patent attorneys and lawyers. Our attorneys often work for clients in multiple jurisdictions and require information on particular points of law. Providing the correct information to them in a timely manner is critical, since incorrect information can potentially invalidate a patent during prosecution or have costly knock on effects during patent litigation. This is where the Manual IP is so useful because it enables me to find information on points of law in every single country in the world at the click of a button.
As a patent paralegal, I regularly consult the Manual IP to find the relevant information on IP laws in different countries. It has proven to be so useful, time-saving and reliable that it became a vital tool for my everyday work. The various search functions and the user-friendly interface facilitate finding the relevant information for each individual case. Therefore, I can recommend the Manual IP unreservedly to anyone who regularly needs up-to-date information on worldwide IP laws and does not intend to spend working hours tediously searching in various resources.
Part of my role as Patent liaison is to stay up to date on IP law and assist our Patent attorneys. Patents follow products, so CNH Industrial needs IP protection worldwide. I regularly need information on particular points of IP law in various jurisdictions. Having quick and easy access to Manual IP offering me correct and up to date information is a 100 times more efficient than searching the web, which is, let’s be honest, often inconclusive.
